There is a pieced pattern of Fish Bowls that might be fun to do.

How about a DNP (disappearing nine patch)? They seem to always work no matter what fabric is used and it is a fairly quick sew. There is also Take Five and Turning Twenty (or something like that). It just depends on how many different fabrics you are using.

Warm Wishes was my first thought as well.

Warm Wishes is the simplest quilt to make. You can make changes to the pattern. I have this quilt I am going to make and cut the Focus fabric larger making it an 8" square. You could do fuzzy cuts of fish and use them in the corners. For my quilt, I wonted to make something that looked like a propeller. I did the drawing using EQ7.

Thinking I was thru reading about this particular topic, I googled
https://www.google.com/search?site=&...52.-3MR4xrOJ5Y
and found some surprisingly beautiful quilt ideas!! Take a look before making up your mind; there's so much more to Marine biology than just fish!

I totally agree with you, there is more than fishes to Marine Biology, but the fabric out there just doesn't support it
