I have some fabric with fish that I want to use as appliques, but can't come up with any ideas on what the quilt should look like. I want to use it with my batiks that have wonderful colors of the sea and look like underwater. Any ideas?

Go to www.Quiltshops.com and search for

Wilmington Prints What's in the Ocean

or simply

fish scales.

.........just my two cents worth ;-)
