That is so cool that we have some that look like yours. I spent hours researching the markings on various fish to come up with the variety he wanted.

This was just something random that I created based on what Brian wanted his quilt to look like. He is really into koi so he was involved with picking out the fabrics he wanted in quilt.

I love your work. the dragon flies are perfect. I'm sure there are lots of hours put in on this one.

Lovely, I have the feeling of actually looking down at a koi filled pond. I really like that and the quilting is out of this world or over the pond!!! :)

The water was machine pieced hexagons since the fabric had a striped pattern in, the fish, lilies and flowers were hand appliqued, then it was machine quilted and last but not least the dragonflies were hand quilted/embroidered in the quilt.

It was made for my ex brother-in-law, while fun to work on ... I am ready to work on something else.

It has been entered in the county (July 8-13) and the state fair (Aug 2-13). Can't wait to see how those turn out. :)

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. I appreciate it.
