Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts designs coastal fabric the way the coast actually looks in the off-season — washed-out sand, pale grasses, weathered calm. Andover's Beach House holds three pieces at Linda's, and they're the antidote to every anchors-and-sailboats coastal cliché.
The pieces
Linen Sand Castle is the signature — a linen-look ground with the subtlest castle-and-shore motif, reading as textured neutral from any distance. Sea Oats Linen carries coastal grasses in the same washed register. And the workhorse: Beach House 108" — the wideback that lets a coastal quilt stay in-palette front to back.
How Corey would use it
These are background fabrics with a point of view. Sitar's own Laundry Basket patterns — split nine-patches, ocean waves — are the natural home, with Beach House linens as the light values against navy or driftwood-brown batiks. Or pair with Northcott's Coral Reef line for an above-and-below-the-waterline pairing that covers the whole seaside story.
