Description
I used a background fabric that gives the impression of sand. Four different sizes of sandals (for each human member of the family) and a set of dog paws are walking through the sand to the water in the distance. A couple of shell groupings have been added to the sand for additional texture.
The border of quarter square triangles allow you to use bright fabrics and play with the beach theme. This can easily come from the stash.
