Fish for CASA
 

Hi Quilters! I just finished the binding on this little quilt. I tried quilting waves with and without a ruler. The ruler was more calm, a shallow sea. My free hand has deeper waves, so a storm I guess. Oh well, no two waves alike just like in real life. This one will be added to our Christmas donations for the children. Have a good night. Oh, it’s small 42x48. Whole blocks and fish blocks squared up to 6.5 inch. The fabrics and batting were from my stash. The Disney I’ve had since forever and the blue backing is still from the 108 bolt I bought last year at Marshall. Batting was leftovers.

That is so cute. Someone is sure going to love it.

very pretty quilt

We all live in a yellow submarine has been going around in my head like a hung up record. -lol- glad to hear I’m not the only one thinking it. Thanks

:) Oh what a happy quilt! I love the Disney print with your fish blocks...a match made in heaven. I bet you were doing the happy dance as you saw this quilt come together. The wave quilting suits the quilt perfectly. Is your fish block from Jenny at Missouri star? I think I saw her do one where you fold back the curved edges? Have a happy quilting day!

I used the fish from the YouTube video Row by Row 2015 from Quilting Confections by Sew Very Easy. The measurements are a different. My blue water or background was cut (3) 2.5 inch and (2) 4.5 inch squares. The smaller ones have the fins and tail on and the larger ones are cut in half corner to corner giving you your 4 half squares to set the fish as a straight block. The fish are colored fabrics cut (3) 2.25 folded in half corner to corner and basted raw edge ,on the corner of a blue water. Then take the folded edge and turn it back to make a curve, stitching down before you sew your squares together. Mine square up at 6.5 and Jenny’s at 6.25
I have now watched Jenny Doans Summer School. Her fish only has the tail made like cathedral but it is still a great block, just each block a quarter inch smaller and the fins aren’t made cathedral.
I may try Jenny’s at some point. Thanks for alerting me to her video.

That's adorable, Toogie. Some child is going to love it

Oh cool! sort of little cathedral window fish! I like that a lot!

That is a darling quilt, Toogie! I love the fish and submarines!

How much fun a child can have with this donation quilt toogie.

What a cute quilt! Like your quilting, too!

Ver cute quilt!

You combined your fabrics wonderfully for a cohesive bright fun quilt. Love the fish.

:) Many thanks for your explanation on how your fish blocks were made....I do see the difference now in your fish blocks and the summer school blocks. It is so interesting to see how blocks that look similar are constructed so differently. Its great to have options. Happy Quilting!

Great donation quilt! I love the Mickey’s.

Love this little quilt...you do such magnificent work. Yellow Submarine has been going around and around in my head for the whole summer. Maybe I just need a trip to the beach!!

Such a happy quilt!
