No beach or ocean themed quilt would be complete without a waves block so, here is my take. Allow me to introduce the Point Break Waves quilt block.
Seriously, there is just something special about the soothing sounds of the ocean that bring me back to my younger years. From body surfing to early morning walks…. so many memories.
One of my favorite features of this block is the versatility. Not only does look wonderful as a square unit but when stitched in repetition, it creates a fantastic border.

Each finished Waves quilt block measures-
- 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm)

Thank you for the Block, it looks great! A question, this Block came down as #19, but the Point Break Block was #17, did I miss one?

Hello Caroline,
Thanks so much for checking. I switched up the release date of blocks 18 & 19 but they are all back on track now.
