Sunday Quilt Inspiration: Beach Houses

Last week I posted about how beaches can inspire our quilts. That was because we had just enjoyed a trip to Galveston Island for a long weekend with our children and grandchildren. Along the way and also in Galveston, we admired the many beautiful beach houses. I began wondering whether there were many quilts on Pinterest that are designed around the theme. Guess what? I found a few!

Almost all houses along the Gulf Coast are now built on stilts or pilings. That's because the water surge during hurricanes can destroy, flood, even move the homes.

Built to resist hurricane force wind and above surge stage, they have a better chance of making it through a storm. I still wouldn't want to be in one during even a mild hurricane.

Before we start looking at beach houses, let's not forget those adorable cabanas. I suppose they are not technically houses, but well, you get it, right?
This quilt makes designer Janet Mednick long to be on a Hawaiian beach with those cabana-like huts.
