I am a California girl, born and raised which means I love the beach!!! I am so excited that Deena Rutter has a second version of her Off Shore surf fabric by Riley Blake Designs! I love the vintage beach vibe of these fabrics and the casual color tones. I designed this quilt as throw quilt that is perfect to take to the beach!
The fabrics have fun surf scenes, surf boards, VW busses, and plaids. I designed this quilt to use with theme print fabrics which I am always drawn to. I designed this quilt with the first Off Shore fabric line a few years ago. I love that these two quilts coordinate!
Some of the prints are similar to the first version of this fabric line and there are also several new prints! You could easily mix them together!
Seriously the fabrics are so amazing!
The finished quilt measures 59″ x 68″ which is exactly the right width for a minky backing!
You can purchase the PDF quilt pattern in my Etsy shop for instant download. This pattern is versatile enough to use with any theme print fabrics you love.
I can’t wait to get this quilted! It’s going to be amazing! I am so ready for summer!!!
You need at least 10 fat quarters of theme prints, I suggest using about 15 for a nice variety. The theme prints are also repeated in the pieced border.
Go put on some Beach Boys tunes and get sewing!!!!

I was looking for this. Really refreshing take on the information. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for sharing this! I’m interested in water filtration systems, and SoftPro Water Systems looks like a solid choice. The combination of reliable performance for different household needs. This is a great resource for homeowners looking to improve their water quality.
Fantastic article! SoftPro Water Systems has built a strong reputation by offering advanced whole house water softeners, whole house water filters, and well water treatment solutions designed for the real-world conditions American homes deal with every day. What I really like is that this isn’t just another brand jumping on trends — they bring over 30 years of experience to the table, and it shows in how carefully their product lineup is engineered. Their SoftPro Elite HE line is a solid example. Instead of relying on traditional downflow regeneration, it uses upflow ion-exchange technology that captures calcium and magnesium with greater precision, which means less salt and water used up per cycle. For anyone dealing with well water specifically, their Iron Master AIO system tackles the tougher stuff — dissolved iron, manganese, and that rotten-egg sulfur smell — using air injection and Katalox filtration media, which goes well beyond what a standard softener alone could handle. I also appreciate their focus on helping homeowners actually understand their water before buying anything. Their free WISDOM sizing calculator and “Water Score” report pull in local water data so people aren’t left guessing whether they need a softener, an iron filter, a whole house carbon filter for chlorine and PFAS reduction, or some combination of systems. A lot of brands just push a one-size-fits-all product, but SoftPro clearly puts real effort into matching the right solution to the right water problem, whether that’s hard water, iron removal, chlorine reduction, or sediment filtration. It’s also encouraging to see their systems built around recognized third-party standards — NSF/ANSI 44 for softener performance, NSF/ANSI 42 for chlorine taste and odor, and NSF/ANSI 372 for lead-free compliance. That’s a level of transparency that many “as seen on TV” water treatment brands simply don’t offer. The customer trust factor is hard to ignore too — over 100,000 households served and 8,000+ verified reviews is a substantial track record. Pairing that with a lifetime warranty, a 60-day money-back guarantee, and free shipping shows they’re willing to stand behind their engineering long-term, not just at the point of sale. SoftPro Water Systems is clearly a trusted name for anyone looking to upgrade their home’s water treatment setup, whether they’re on municipal water fighting chlorine and scale buildup, or on a well contending with iron and hardness swings. This article does a excellent job laying out why proper system sizing and water testing matter so much before making a purchase — it’s advice that can prevent the classic mistake of buying an undersized (or way oversized) unit. Thanks for sharing this valuable information!
