What I did on my day off.
I completed the background of another beach scene….I loved the way the colors worked together.

The bright white spot in the sky is the way the dyed fabric came out. I like it….like clouds.
I then wondered if big ladies would work on the beach….here is what I played with tonight. I will let it sit awhile and see what I think, the next time I go down stairs.

Their arms are not quite right, but you get the picture. I thought they would be splashing on the shore….I may have to tweak the water….
The quilt isn't laid out fully, but drapped over my ironing board, so the picture doesn't quilt bring it all in.

This will give you an idea of my working space…. I only have so much flat surface onto which I can create. All the pieces are loose until I begin quilting. So, it makes it kinda tricky. I do use pins once I have a design I feel works. So far so good….
I may need to add something in the sand or in their hands….on their heads or in the sky…maybe in the water. Fun to play and see what comes. I could literally lose track of time and days and me downstairs.

The colors look odd…but you get the feel….it may be the camera settings.
Art in progress.
