Something Smells Fishy Blog Hop Starts Today, My Day

 




The Something Smells Fishy Blog Hop Challenge starts today, hosted by the ever fabulous Carol @Just Let Me Quilt.  Thanks so much Carol for another wonderful blog hop challenge.  

The challenge this time:  Make something with a fish in the fabric or in the quilt design, applique or pieced fish.  This one is easy for me, I have tons of nautical, sea, fish fabric and projects.  I fished up a project I started several years ago determined to finish it.

Back in 2020 I participated in a quilt along with Partners In Design, a group of designers/bloggers who did a By the Sea QAL.  I always thought I needed a mermaid in my final quilt.  These were my blocks from that QAL.  



The designers included

Designer:
Becca @ Pretty Piney
Abbie @ Sparkle On!
Becca @ Pretty Piney Quilts
Jennifer @ Inquiring Quilter



I found a mermaid pattern I liked, it was called Ocean Child by designer Laura Strickland on Etsy.  I also found a whale panel I liked, that was actually part of a tote bag panel.  I also added a couple of blocks as fillers, I cut out some sea creatures with my Accuquilt dies.  


I plan to add this border.  The fabric is called Sea Breeze.  I am waiting for my order to come in, and it hasn't arrived yet.  



That's my project.  It is almost finished, as soon as I get the border fabric.  I am really happy about getting this to an almost flimsy.
