Looking for a pattern or other info from this picture
I saw this picture somewhere and am now wanting to make a quilt like this, but don't have enough detail of the fishes. Has anyone seen this?

Haven't made it, but the fish look like some simple applique to me. Body (including mouth detail) is cut from one fabric. Top fin, back fin, bottom fin, and teeny-tiny fin are cut from a second fabric. Layer the body over the edge of the top, back, and bottom fins. Then layer the teeny-tiny fin over the body. Does this help? You might be able to roughly freehand draw it out knowing that this is how it appears.

I'm guessing that the photo was of a wall hanging, otherwise the fish would be really big.
Since you don't have a pattern, you can just make them whatever size you want.
It looks like the background strips are probably 2" wide finished size.
