Heres one corner of the scuba quilt. It is comming along nicely, the shark goes on today and hopefully DH can get the scub diver drawn this weekend. Meantime I can go to the machine and stitch the pieces on. What stitch would you use to attach? Buttonhole, satin stitch or just a zigzag. I wanted to try a little thread painting with this project too. Hope I don't mess it up!

I used the free applique tropical fish pattern from http://fatcatpatterns.com/Aquatic%20Designs.html and we did the grasses and corals freehand. Wait until you see the shark, hes's just spectacular and will be lurking behind the grasses and coral reef above.

that looks great!!

Wow! I like it - alot!

Nice job :)

Wow, in my next life I want to be able to draw (in addition to being tall and thin). I can't wait to see the next phase!

great job, it reminds me of trips to hawaii!

Very pretty! Keep us posted.

Wonderful! Can't wait to see the shark.

Wow....just stunning. Can't wait to see more :)

Very beautiful and creative! Be sure to post a pic of the shark as soon as he's done. Oh, and personally, I like the Buttonhole stitch on the applique.

I love your quilt. I posted a photo of a turtle jacket I made a couple of weeks ago and am getting ready make a baby quilt using the theme on the backside of the jacket. I think I will add the tropical fish you found on FatCat. Great Job. Love all your quilts.

Looking good!! Personally speaking I like the blanket stitch for applique, but get some scraps and do some same stitches and decide which one YOU and hubby like best. Can't wait to see the shark.

adorable!!

I looked at your jacket and added a post there. Love the back. The tropical fish will be really nice on a baby quilt, they are so whimsical in nature.

Like it a lot, thanks for sharing!

All I can say is wow. If I remember right, your husband also had his hands in this quilt. You are both artists. Thanks for sharing and please keep us posted on the progress.

Looks great!

Awesome!!

I like it!!! Looking forward to seeing the whole thing!
