Baby Fish Quilt Finished

14 years ago

I took a "Fun Fish" class with Quilt University a few years back and finished this top. The water was pieced organically (just set out a bunch of batik FQs) and the fish and sea life were machine appliqued and hand embroidered eyes and detail. I had it pinned for about 2 years wondering how to quilt it. I finally have the skill level to do an allover meander on my home machine. It is 38" x 47". I also have a Full sized quilt I started then, it just needs pieced borders and quilting. That one I will practice Long Arm at the LQS to finish. Having the baby quilt done will hopefully inspire me to finish the Full sized one for my bed.

Nice school of fish. I really like the shells at the bottom. The quilting looks great too. I never could meander on my home machine.

I love it! My brother was into salt water fish for a while, and I've been looking for a pattern to do one for him. I'm definitely inspired :-)

I love it. You can have a full aquarium hanging on your wall and not have to worry about feeding the the fish. Really fun project.

Thanks everyone! I really loved this project and am inspired to get the Full sized one done and on my bed! Deanna, this one doesn't have a designated home just yet. I'm enjoying it for now.

Oh! It took me a minute to notice the seahorses, and when I did they brought such a smile to my face. How cute!

What a super quilt! I keep finding quilts I'd like to make for B2 (that's what Nick calls his new son/daughter).

Excellent job all the way around!
