Erin brought me this colorful baby quilt. There are loads of pieced fish, big and little. Her piecing was amazing. Very precise. She liked the swirly pattern, so I quilted that all over the blue, from edge to edge.
I'm impressed that these photos came out. I had to take pictures inside because of all the ice. They are better than I expected:)
I brought out my piece of clear plexiglass and tried several designs before I settled on this one. I wanted to make the fish look more 'real', rather than just echo the shapes. I quilted each one with a bright contrasting colored thread, adding some fins and then stitching in the ditch around the whole fish to keep it tacked down nicely.
I love the colors! This is such a bright and cheerful quilt! Thanks Erin!
Wonderful job Laura. You turned my few words about water into lush swirls. I especially like the extra design work you did on the fish.
