On to Gareth's quilt

Pattern - River Road Fancies - Cowabunga

Pattern - River Road Fancies - Lolligator


The first picture will be at the top of the quilt - the end of the day, sunset at the beach, all the surf boards are put up for the night. Then under that will be Lolli Gator - but I am eliminating the palm tree and adding the following surfing gator.


Alligator Crawl pillow (South Florida Quilt Hop)


(Patterns by River Road Fancies - their web site isn't up yet but they have the cutest quilts - Google them, except for Surfing Gator, he came from the 2006 Aligator Crawl in South Florida, I don't know who designed him.)


Alright, I am trying to figure out how to combine these three patterns. The way I envisioned it would make the quilt horizontal but I need it to be vertical so I have to go in the other direction and make two different pictures rather than combining them into one big design.


Here are my background selections -

Cowabunga-the fabric for the sun and the suns rays are much prettier than they show up here.

Lolli & Surfing gators I have the cutest gator fabric for the background. And the borders will be really colorful, and of course the surfboards too. Tomorrow - I cut! Wait, now that I think of it I need to leave the tree in with Lolli so it looks like the same spot, I will get the surfer in there too - watch!
