a "fishy" quilt...


I love the fishy blanket.

This is the front.

The polka dot side is the back. Can I just tell you how difficult is was for me to piece that strip on the back ? I really had a hard time with it for some odd reason.

It's done. I had a little snafu with the binding. There wasn't enough for me to bind the entire quilt. In the instructions that I got she suggested cutting the quilt top to a certain size, well I didn't and that left me with not enough binding.

Oops.
My sister ending up saving the day. She had some scraps from this fabric line and she was going to send them to me. Then I found the orange polka dotty material and used that, BUT my sister (whom I love like no other) is sending me the fabric anyway and I am making some matching pillowcases.

Gavin is taking a nap right now snuggled under his new fishy quilt.
