The Only Problem...

 

...with designing lots of HSTs into a quilt is that Someone Has to Sew Them! There are at least 260 HSTs and about 40 QSTs in my Americana quilt.  Squaring up is next.  Guess what my next complainy post is going to be about?  :)

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!
