    Default paper pieced salmon
    I found this block pattern by Cyrille Zellweger on Etsy. This was my Memorial Day weekend project. Yes, it took me that long to make it, I am a very slooow paper piecer. He still needs an eye.

    That salmon would have easily taken me 3 days to do as well. It is pretty complex. He looks great and your friend will surely love it.

    thank you. The picture came out kind of weird. The face is more of a soft silvery grey, and I don't know why that bottom corner looks so dark.

    This is very cool. Great fish and the effect of the water fabric is super cool!

    That is awesome, and it would probably take me at least a week to do something like that. Great job.
