This is why I love this board! I get all kinds of great ideas

Yes, hand sewn. I know there's a way to machine sew beads by holding them in place with tweezers but I think that's more trouble than it's worth... I sewed beads in flower centres on my Orchidacious quilt (posted in Pics) and it really lifted the whole thing. :-D

What about doing swirls in the sky area, the wave design on the top half and when you get to the end of the first section of the bargello go to freehand and start softening the wave and go around the fishes. You get less WAVE the deeper into the ocean you go!
Love your quilt, I'm working on a quilt with fishes too. I am dying to try a bargello!
