vegetarian fish
 
1 Attachment(s)
There have been a few times in my life when I tried to go vegetarian. It never lasted long (maybe a year at most--each time). But during those times, it never ceased to amaze me that I would be asked if I ate fish. My answer was always "I didn't know fish was a vegetable". I recently bought some 5" charm squares of veggie/fruit fabric and cut them down to 3.5" squares. While I will never consider fish to be a vegetable in the food category, I just knew that I had to make a fish block with the scraps from those 5" veggie/fruit squares. So here's a pic of my...ahem...vegetarian fish block.

How cute is that? My friend made a 'vegetable' picnic quilt - made circles of the veggies and put on plain background squares of browns, beiges and greens (like veggies in the fields) -- it turned out wonderfully, intermixed with large red & white checked fabric and some plain red.

Adorable veggie fish!
A youngster I know was claiming to have gone vegetarian. However she made exception for pepperoni, hot dogs and McDonald's chicken nuggets. Said they weren't meat! How do you argue with that logic. Lol!

Cute and clever block!!

twinkie 07-14-2013 03:32 AM

That is cute, but tell us, "IS FISH A VEGETABLE?"

Aurora 07-14-2013 05:18 AM

I think some vegetarians might eat fish. Vegans do not. There is a difference between Vegetarians and Vegans -- that is the reason they asked if you ate fish.

cpcarolyn 07-14-2013 06:27 AM

Nice block.

MargeD 07-14-2013 07:43 AM

What an adorable quilt block - that should end the questions about whether or not you eat fish.

klgls 07-14-2013 08:31 AM

LOL - cute block!!!

Vegetarians don't eat meat. Vegans don't use any animal products, including chicken broth, cheese, leather and down pillows, etc. If you eat meat, you're not a vegetarian. If you don't eat mammals, but you eat fish, you're a pescetarian.

I like the veggie fish block! Cute story too :)

Really sorry here, but if you eat fish you are not a vegetarian! peace
