Sunlight on the Coral Reef

I saw the Kaffee Fassett fabric jellyroll on sale as the daily deal from Missouri Star and just had to have it. I also ordered 2 charm packs of the same fabric but did not know what style of quilt I wanted to make. After much searching, I then designed this quilt using the strips pieced together and then cut on the diagonal. I wanted it to be a water themed quilt and the fabric reminded me of coral reefs so I placed the lighter green themed strips going diagonally through the quilt as though they were rays of sunshine, filtering through the water. I finally finished it this past February and gave it to my husband as a birthday gift. He loved it and we have it on our bed now, on those extra cold winter nights.
