I will look for some beads. That is a great idea! I don't know if our friend will actually use it for a blanket or a wall hanging. I told my husband that if I had made if for us, we would be hanging it on the wall!!! I think my DH will probably make a wooden wall hanger for it, just in case our friend wants to use it as a wall hanging.

Love your quilt, I'm working on a quilt with fishes too. I am dying to try a bargello!
Thanks! I was actually thinking maybe quilt stars in the sky area...not sure yet. You are right!!! Less waves as you go deeper. I didnt think about that. What do you think about a small meandering in the big black bottom of the quilt?
