I have been reading about this fish block both here and on the web. In all my research, it looks like nobody wants to do a tutorial lol and no small wonder. This is not an easy block and it take quite a few hours to make it.

I was lazy and didn't want to figure it out lol....anyway. I found the block in Block Base, pulled it into EQ and was able to just get one section for paper piecing. The rest were templates and mostly set-in's.

I used the Aunt Gracie fabric scraps, since I had the scraps out already from doing the Wheels quilt,

I made each fish a different fabric and after I finished the block, I added some extra background fabric so I could cut it wonky. I will be doing some odds and ends blocks from the AG scraps until I use them up and at the same time, I am learning a new block or figuring one out lol......This block is 10x10.

​I've always liked that block and yours looks really good. Another one that I like in a similar theme is the Flying swallow block. I don't know if that is the actual name.

It sure is isn't it? I love this type of block and am searching BB to see others like it. This is one of the blocks used in the bible quilts. I don't know if any of you have done a bible quilt. I thought I would sort of do something of the sort. I thought I would do a Joseph's Coat of many colors but actually have the shape of the coat in the block.......

I think your background fabric detracts from the fish.

Great block ... could be fun for a kids quilt too.

I've never seen or heard of the block.
You mentioned that no one wants to do a tutorial about it ... now that you've done it, then perhaps you will?

Would you share your PP pattern, being that you created it?
Please? and Thanks!

Your block is great and love the repro prints.

Oh I didn't create the block QuilteE. It is in a program called Block Base by Barbara Brackman.
