This summer has passed very quickly in one view and very slowly in another. With my first guild meeting next Thursday, I decided I better use my challenge fabric. That fabric is the gray, off white and blue-white print used for the fish. We had to use some of each plus we were allowed to add up to 3 different fabrics. No other restrictions. I immediately thought I would do a large blue heron. So much for that idea.
When the Fast Friday Fabric Challenge came out = a group of something, I got this fish idea.
Since I am very behind in my charity quilts, I wanted to 'catch up'. This quilt serves all of those purposes. I would really like to know the age and sex of the person who picks this quilt. It is very unlikely that this will happen. I just hope it makes the recipient smile.
Because I am thinking it may be washed a lot, everything is faced and stitched down tight. There are NO raw edges, loose threads of anything that might 'wash out'.

I love your fish. It should make some one very happy---would be great for any child--up to childish adults!!
Really fun and fabulous. Great idea, especially for a child's room.
The fish are wonderful...but the quilting depicting seaweed really sets it up. Great piece!
cool fish!
This is so appealing and I like the swirly quilting in the background. Some lucky kid will absolutely love it!
Thanks Norma. The background was quilted first; hopefully it resembles some growing things. It is about as realistic as the fish, which are actually an idea from a real fish.
I love this one Ann, nice job.
