Kim:
There have been some fun tessellated fish quilts, but I don't know the
source off hand. A fish quilt with a wide variety of bright fabric can be
quite striking.

Here is one with basic fish block. I'd want to tweak it ... add some
coral, seaweed, etc. NAYY.

fish quilts! Help!

My very first full-sized quilt was a stack-n-whack with some neon
colored fish on a black background. I fussy-cut fish from the print for
the sashing and borders so you could tell there were fish in the
stack-n-whack blocks. Then I gave the quilt to my marine biologist
niece for a wedding gift. She loves it.

I just completed 2 fish quilts for our 2 granddaughters. They are 1yr
and 2 1/2 yrs. old. They will be sharing a room with an underwater
theme. I made sure I used some of the same fabric in both but used
different patterns. They are not twins and I wanted them to have
individual looking quilts but complement each other.

Thanks, Alice. 500 points and a giggle. Polly

You know what they say, you can lead a fish to water..............

Kim, I have a "fishy" quilt block pattern, a "fishy" applique pattern,
a "fishy" quilt/stitching pattern and a couple of fish quilt
patterns/instructions. If you think you might like to see any of
these, drop me an email off list and I'll scan and send to you.

Thanks for all the help, folks. I've certainly got a good start on
this....knew you'd give me some great leads. [Now I just have to figure out
how I want to put them together in a quilt.] My goal for this fall is to
make SIMPLE quilts...I do tend to get carried away, and a quilt for a
10-year-old is not the place for fancy!

Wow! I have nothing to add to this (the only fish quilt I made was for my
mom with novelty fabric of the fish fishing for cats, unless you can't the
fish row I put on the mini round robin), but....

I am impressed!!!!! you guys know everything!!
