Whoop for DD1's quilt!

This is DD1's Christmas present quilt. It was fun to do, lots of fun fabrics like this, Heather Ross Aliens...




when I got started quilting I decided to bubble the featured fishies... that was fun to do




This is Bjorn, the little guy who started this madness.... DD1 threatened to name her first born Bjorn if she didn't get a quilt with him some day which started my hunt for enough of the Heather Ross fish to make a quilt..




The free form blocks ended up being a bit more than expected when it came to making sure there was a white strip between each block... I finally came up with a plan but it was not easy peasy as I imagined it to be




The backing is a Michael Miller geo print that I got awhile ago and though you can't see it there is a 20" strip of solid turquoise through the backing


Another happy customer!



Sharing with Sarah for a whoop.

    I have adored those lil' fishies since they first appeared. You have one sweet quilt here with your color choices, too. What a fun finish, Diane!

    Whoa! That is beautiful! I know your daughter must be thrilled! And I love the bubbling fish! Now you don't have to worry about a grandson with a weird name. Maybe. :)
