Bring the Beach Home: Create a Stunning Seashell Quilt Block (Free Pattern!)

Dreaming of sandy beaches and ocean breezes? Bring that summer feeling indoors with a charming seashell quilt block! Perfect for beginners and seasoned quilters alike, this free pattern is a delightful way to add a touch of the seashore to your next project.

This block is intermediate, thanks to its high count of half rectangle triangles in many sizes. It is also traditionally pieced, versus FPP, which is quite common for seashell blocks.

This seashell block can be used to create a stunning quilt top, a beachy throw pillow, or even a cute tote bag. With a little creativity, the possibilities are endless!
