yes, i appliqued fish, dolphins, coral ect. after creating my bargello ocean, quilted it with waves then added hot-fix crystals here and there for some sparkle and bubbles where i felt they were needed...
she LOVES her new quilt!
i looked and looked for a large dolphin for the center but could not locate one (until it was finished of course) so i found a panal with the turtle, octopus and other sea life and cut that up to use it. most of the applique is raw-edge fused then sewn. when i finished that one i so loved the outcome and the technique that i quickly started another in 'woodsy' fabrics, then appliqued deer & elk, it was a christmas gift for my brother in law and his wife who built a new house in the woods. don't have pic'[s yet.

These quilts are very beautiful...

Maybe someday...

This is my first bargello. I took the class a couple of years ago and had done nothing with the little bargello. But my daughter when she was 3 (she is not 22) we volunteered in a school for the disabled in Atlanta. Alex helped follow kids in the hallway when they were on bikes and helped feed them at lunch. She was only 3!
Anyway at the end of the year they gave us T-shirts and a tote with the saying "Paint Your Rainbows with the Colors You are Given". So I got this quilt out and added the words and a paint bucket/brushes. Haven't finished it yet but thought I would go ahead and share since you wanted pictures.
I was going to give this to a new grand nephew or niece but decided I need to keep it for my first grandchild from Alex since the saying means so much to us!
The paint bucket and brushes are raw appliqued.

Donna Batiks....what a beautiful idea and story to go with it. Very pretty.

HarleyQuinn--I think it's great that you have a small size. The idea of making a big one with all those different widths scare the bejonkers right out of me. A lap size or wall hanging would be a good practice one!

Thanks. It was done with fat quarters, I wanted it smaller to resemble an art quilt....
