Under the sea finished

Well...it's finished - the under the sea quilt for my DS and DDIL's first baby - ETA 3 weeks - we don't know if it's a boy or girl - so the suspense is killing me. Have already booked my ticket to go see them in May. This was a big challenge to myself - designed it and hand appliqued all. I don't FMQ so echo stitched around everything...and did a few squigglies in the "water". Thanks for looking.[ATTACH=CONFIG]469914[/ATTACH]

You did a wonderful job on this quilt. You should be proud of yourself for stretching out and doing something new. Congratulations on the new baby.

Beautiful. any way we could entice you to post closeups of the other blocks as well? I loved seeing the closeup of the blue fish.

Doggramma 04-03-2014 09:53 AM

Beautiful job! You're very talented with the applique-ing. The little one is sure to love it.

Well done! Love the use of the batiks and your applique is wonderful. How did you do the eyes?

Thanks for the nice words..here are the closeups. And the eyes are painted with craft paint - then heat sealed with an iron.

Beautiful quilt, quilting and colors. Baby will love the bright colors. Perfect for either sex.

postal packin' mama 04-03-2014 02:19 PM

May I ask if this is a purchaseable (is that even a word?) pattern or is it your own design?
It's just beautiful; I've never seen a more detailed one. Love it!

malega 04-03-2014 02:22 PM

Wow that is awesome.

jetayre 04-03-2014 02:56 PM

Really, really nice!! The sea creatures, the fluffiness, the colors....

Lovely!!! I'm sure it will be well loved.

maryb119 04-03-2014 03:59 PM

This is an amazing quilt! My son has aquariums all over his apartment. This would be an ideal pattern to use when.....someday....he meets the right girl and marries and has a family. Thanks for sharing!

I can just see the love stitched into every inch. Just beautiful and so meticulous.

Jvan228 04-03-2014 07:14 PM

Wow! You did a great job. I know they'll love it.

sewbizgirl 04-03-2014 08:20 PM

Just gorgeous, as I knew it would be when you showed us what you were working on, on the Virtual Quilting Weekends. I love your turtle best of all. The frames around the fish remind me of aquariums. You have done a fantastic job... a labor of love for your special grandbaby!

thimblebug6000 04-03-2014 08:27 PM

They're all beautiful, but I love the seahorse!

#1piecemaker 04-03-2014 08:30 PM

SewExtremeSeams 04-03-2014 08:36 PM

Penni, it is so beautiful. I love your jellyfish up in the corner. You are very creative.


Three weeks... sew exciting. I bet you can't wait to hold the little one in your Grandma arms.
