The simplified borders for Nancy’s Ocean Waves are done! Finally. I’m kinda in love with this version too. (If you want to hum along to the love song running through my head, here you go.)
I have updated the original Nancy’s Ocean Waves post with the printing chart and uploaded the 2 PDFs you need to complete the quilt. The Math PDF shows the blocks and a has a partial chart that shows how the different blocks go together in odd and even rows plus the half and corner blocks for the edges. The Border PDF has the Ship’s Wheel and Ribbon/Shell/Starfish border appliques. Also included are a set of templates for hand piecing or foundation piecing the Mariner’s Compass blocks.
A couple of things to note: The original post for Nancy’s Ocean Waves is for blocks that are laid out in an “X” design.
Top left corner looks like an X.
This is a less common layout for an Ocean Waves quilt but fewer block configurations are needed so it is less complicated to put together.
The printing chart and Math PDF in this post are for blocks that are laid out in the more traditional “O” design.
Top left corner looks like an O.
Again, the Math PDF shows the different blocks and has a partial chart to show how the rows and edges go together. Because the half and corner blocks that go around the quilt center need 2 variations to complete this layout, you really need to pay attention to which block goes where so all those HST units are going in the right direction. The Border Applique PDF is the same for both quilt layouts.
There is currently no 6 inch Quarter Square Triangle [QST] available in any Inklingo Collection so the QST will have to be cut from squares as noted on the Printing Charts for both Ocean Waves layouts. (Someday, I would love to see an Inklingo Collection for a 6 inch Ocean Waves quilt that would include the 1.5 inch HST, 4.24 inch Square, 6 inch QST and the 3 inch HST for the corners in the “O” layout. Oh, it would be really great to have a 12 inch Mariner’s Compass Collection. Hehehe)

Sewing HST units with Inklingo
===
Whew! This is definitely the most complicated Design Sheet set that I put together. Now that this project is done, this is where you will find me… LOL
===
I got a little carried away in my original plan on the borders for Nancy’s Ocean Waves. I decided I needed to scale back a bit. My original design has a Mariner’s Compass in one corner and a ship’s wheel in the opposite corner with this rather intense swirly-twirly ocean applique design.
Hahaha. Yeah, I just kept drawing. And adding circles. The other two corners include a house with a lighthouse.
I am kinda in love with my borders but the free design sheet will have a much simpler border. I don’t want to overwhelm anyone. The borders for Nancy’s Ocean Waves will be something like this with some starfish and shells. And probably some circles…
I am determined to keep working on these until they are done so I can post the update to the design sheet. No promises on a date though. Real life always interrupts my plans…
===
What to do when the weather outside looks like this–exactly like it looked a month ago–and you are feeling miserable because of a cold… Sew hexagons. It doesn’t require much brain power.
I have about 100 more flowers to stitch but I decided it was time to start sewing rows together. I already have all my edge pieces printed and cut.
The top left and the bottom still need to be ironed. The first 50 flowers. Only 452 more to go.
