of course the first beach huts i've ever seen were from jacque tati's movie: Mr. Hulot's Holiday:

as you can see - we can do with them whatever we want

unless our's happens to be placed in brighton:

Whereas this is more the sort of thing I was thinking of
Ok so they are all closed up, but these are at Swanage, Dorset, where my Gran used to live, and we would go down every year for a holiday. Her house was half way up a very steel hill, and it was hard work schlepping up after a day at the beach.

Yes, there were a lot of images with the thatched roof. That could be a fun 3D applique thingy.

That's a great beach hut design, Roseanne, and possibly more in keeping with what Lotti might have had in mind... I don't know... but the thought "beach hut" conjured up for me was one with a thatched roof!

Lotti,
Haven't ever seen a beach hut, so googled it & Wow! what fun images come up. I pasted one here.
What a fun idea for our stripey blocks!

Great idea, Lotti! Reminded me of when I lived in Okinawa!

Great idea Lotti - look forward to seeing it someday.

What a BRILLIANT idea Lotti - can't wait to see that one!

i've just about decided to make mine into a "beach-hut" quilt.
i've been in love with those fun and colorful beach-huts standing in a row since i first saw a set years and years and years ago
think the reels would make great and fun beach-huts
and adds a whole new dimension to the possibilities of embellishments...

Sounds like a fun plan to me, but with all those odd angles for piecing, starch will definitely be your friend.
Random is good on this thread, it is Tangled Threads afer all

I think I might put my reels together in a way that would be like they all fell on the floor and this is how they looked...very random. If I can figure out how to piece them that way. I am pretty random in general. lol Such as randomly throwing in this topic in the middle of brew recipes. I only get on here occasionally because it is summer here on the farm and it is busy, busy! Good busy.

I can almost see the slogan: 'Chilli Mead, It'll warm the cockles of your Heart'! Too funny Rosemary. I love the title of the 'Hooch Master General'.
