60 x 142 inches (5' x 11'10")
Velda Newman has collected sea shells for years; this is the larger of two quilts she has made with them as the subject. She notes: “For a soft appearance on fruit and flowers, I always use hand stitching. To create the ‘hard’ edges on shells and baskets, I machine stitch.”
