Sun Hat Quilt Block

Sun Hat Quilt Block

I'm so excited to share the July Quilt Block Mania block with you. This month's theme is Beauty/Style. I'll be honest I had to do some brain storming on this once, since I try to keep all my pattern travel/global/destination related. But then I thought of the beach vacations I have taken, and the essential accessory for any sunny day, a sun hat!

I found this great article by Lonely Plant with 25 of the world's best beaches. While some of the beaches were exactly what I was thinking of, tropical, sunny and warm; some of the beaches I was surprised and delights to see on the listed.

Here are a few that were inline with what I was expecting:

  • The best beach for surfers - The Pass, Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia
  • The best beach to explore local culture - Ipanema Beach, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
  • The best beach for snorkeling - Plage de Ta'ahiamanu, Mo'orea, French Polynesia
  • The best beach for rainforest adventures - Playa Manuel Antonio, Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio, Costs Rica

Here are a few that surprised me (but that have been added to my bucket list):

  • The best beach for beautiful rock formations - Sarakiniko, Milos, Greece
  • The best beach for untamed beauty - West Beach, Berneray, Outer Hebrides, Scotland
  • The best beach for tide pools - Ruby Beach, Olympic National Park, Washington, USA (I had to include this one because its near my home town.)
  • The best beach for wildlife - Radhanagar, Swaraj Dweep, Andaman Islands, India

The beauty of the many varied beaches around the world are the inspiration for the Sun Hat quilt block, which is entirely Foundation Paper Pieced, and finishes at 12” x 12”.
