Thread: 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.

Yeah, once I attached the photo I could see it better. It guess it would work as a wall hanging (I think all those appliques add bulk, right?).

Thanks -- will have to try a couple of these!

It's definitely applique and the pieces appear to be top stitched with a small zigzag. Looks as if it'd be fairly easy to come up with something very similar, given the right fabrics.
