Fish Block
1 Attachment(s)
I have been reading about this fish block both here and on the web. In all my research, it looks like nobody wants to do a tutorial lol and no small wonder. This is not an easy block and it take quite a few hours to make it.
I was lazy and didn't want to figure it out lol....anyway. I found the block in Block Base, pulled it into EQ and was able to just get one section for paper piecing. The rest were templates and mostly set-in's. I used the Aunt Gracie fabric scraps, since I had the scraps out already from doing the Wheels quilt, http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...l-t183834.html I made each fish a different fabric and after I finished the block, I added some extra background fabric so I could cut it wonky. I will be doing some odds and ends blocks from the AG scraps until I use them up and at the same time, I am learning a new block or figuring one out lol......This block is 10x10. |
That is a great block!

very cute block

I've always liked that block and yours looks really good. Another one that I like in a similar theme is the Flying swallow block. I don't know if that is the actual name.

I think your background fabric detracts from the fish.

Great block ... could be fun for a kids quilt too.
I've never seen or heard of the block. You mentioned that no one wants to do a tutorial about it ... now that you've done it, then perhaps you will? Would you share your PP pattern, being that you created it? Please? and Thanks! |
Your block is great and love the repro prints.
