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

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.
