being designed on the fly. I want to applique a few brightly colored fish and maybe a starfish; after applique I will add borders.
This one of two I worked on today, the other is a sky (not completed yet), a little larger than this one, and will have a quarter moon shape and stars appliqued on.

That is cool! I think an appliqued star fish would be really awesome!

Beautiful! I'm bookmarking this. May borrow your idea when I make my rec room quilt using the fish panel as the center and appliqueing some similar smaller trout from another fishy fabric I already have.

Wow, that is such cool fabric. It really makes me think of water. Great job.

Thank you so much for looking. All the fabrics were pulled from my 1 1/2 inch strips I collect.

Once I get it appliqued I will post more pictures.
