Ocean + Light

Kitty @nightquilter got to choose the Bee Sewcial @beesewcial this month, and she asked us to make a block or blocks inspired by how Ocean or Water + Light play together. "Whether the sparkle of sunlight on ocean, or the view from below, with the sun beams coming down through the water. Colors are a range of blues you might find in an ocean, anywhere from dark true blue to turquoise, with white to yellow/gold as the base for the light."


Luckily, many of the blues  - and the white - I used in my block were part of the solid restock I told you about in my June Fabric Usage post. Improv-pieced, if I trimmed it 'square,' it would measure 17" x 19", but Kitty asked me to leave it untrimmed, so I'll do that. Though I was kind of overwhelmed at the thought of responding to this prompt, once I actually faced it, it flowed pretty well.
