WOW! your creativity and attention to detail demands applause (hands clapping) You have included so many well done techniques: embroidery, applique, piecing curves, whimsy (eyes on the fish--how cute). I really like your quilting too. IMO, it's just the right amount and appropriate to the various blocks or strips. Gosh, if you can't enter this one in competition, I hope you will make another one to enter. Thanks for sharing it with us.
