Have you had a fun year doing these blocks? Thanks for coming to see the compilation and reveal of my finished quilt!
All blocks
When Jen posted the original concept with all the fish color prompts and seaweed/coral visuals my mind went to actually each color being the fish in the sea. So I chose the background accordingly. When I saw how she was setting them in the quilt, then the sashings became the coral and seaweed that the fish are swimming around.
Auditions for borders
Quilting -- used Goldfish pantograph (hand guided)
This beautiful backing from FreeSpirit - Kaffe Fasset -- has an amazing sateen sheen. Available! It is like the jewels of the sea as the perfect back for this fish inspired color challenge. I used 80/20 batting and Signature Orange Craze thread on top and Aurifil 4657 on the bottom.
In sunlight (left) and in the shade (right). In the shade it makes me think under the sea!
I used leftover backing for the binding.
Happy New Year!
Besides myself, these bloggers are revealing their finished quilts at these links:
