Default Gone Fishin'

I just finished this quilt for my ex-husband who is starting chemo. He's an avid bass fisherman. This is my first time making a quilt without a pattern. I started with the panel and it evolved from there. Jean from my quilting guild did the quilting. I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

It turned out super. Sure that he will love it. What a nice thing to do for him. The top and bottom would make great table runners. Prayers go out to him at this time. BrendaK

Great quilt Margaret! I have a couple of brothers that would love it as they too are fishermen. Well done.
