That's so cute & your quilting is perfect on this quilt. Looks like the whales are swimming in the ocean & having fun. I like the idea of a pocket in the back for a story book. That was so clever. Someone is going to really, really be happy with this quilt.

Was it hard to piece the minke?

I used a lot of pins when piecing with minkee...and a walking foot. The whale blocks are large so I wasn't working with small pieces. I used half inch seam allowances so I could finger press the seams open. As for making the bubbles. I traced a circle on a lightweight interfacing. Next I put the I-F with the drawn circle over a scrap of minkee that is facing pretty side out. I sewed on the drawn line, cut a slit in the I-F and turned the I-F to the back and now you have a minkee circle. The bubbles were fun to make! Have fun using your scraps!

I wanted to thank you for your idea in an earlier post on what to quilt on my whale quilt. You suggested water coming out of the blow holes...and I used your idea! Thank you sew much!
