Dolphin quilt
 
2 Attachment(s)
Finally finished a dolphine quilt that was a special order quilt for a little girl. She and her mom picked out the pattern, it was a wall hanging that I made larger, they also picked out all the fabric. I had so much fun making it, I think I might just make another so I can enter it in the Bennington Quiltfest this coming fall. The dolphin was done with straight line piecing. I am hoping that my pics will actually post, it says that they are attached so here's hoping...

Is that the paper pieced dolphin from the noahs ark paper piecing book

Sandynorm 02-02-2012 06:53 PM

no, it is straight line piecing from a book on it, I do not have it here with me at the moment. No paper piecing involved.

Your quilt is amazing! The colors are perfect and the dolphins beautiful! I loved watching the dolphins swimming along-side the boat when I used to sail in Florida.

OK, so the pattern came from the book "Go Wild with Quilts ~ Again" by Margaret Rolfe, 10 new bird and animal designs.
