Trash to Treasure Fish

Feverishly working for about a week on this one, I have everything but the binding done. You may recall that one of Judy's posts inspired me to make fishes from a pattern she was working with. I modified the EQ6 pattern I had posted to include a few baby fish as this is to be a baby quilt. It was quilted with part of a modified pantograph pattern (by Debra Geissler). On finishing the quilt it looked to me like the fish didn't need eyes after all - that in fact eyes would be distracting, so I suppose these are blind fish.


Detail shots can be found HERE and HERE.

Thanks again Judy for sharing your booboos with the world, I find them inspiring!

  4. It looks great! The colors are just perfect and I like both the baby fish and the lack of eyes.
