I have some fabric with fish that I want to use as appliques, but can't come up with any ideas on what the quilt should look like. I want to use it with my batiks that have wonderful colors of the sea and look like underwater. Any ideas?

I'm working on fish toys and am using a scale print so I thought I'd share a thought about the fish fabric I'm using.

Go to www.Quiltshops.com and search for

Wilmington Prints What's in the Ocean

or simply

fish scales.

.........just my two cents worth ;-)
