Mystery Fabric QAL Reveal, Wednesday Wait Loss

I have been recently in a Mystery Quilt-A-Long with three of my friends.  We each got a FQ of a mystery fabric, and we were to make a project.  I saw that Moira@ The Quilted Snail and Susan @ Desertsky Quilts have posted their projects and you can see their projects at the links above.

This was the fabric we received:

I decided to use mine as a background for this mermaid.  

I embroidered on it:     My Home Is the Open Sea

                                    Where Stars Shine Brighter 

                                     And My Soul is Free

This is the back.  I am calling the piece Wistful Mermaid.  I really liked the quilting I did on her scales and rocks and ocean, but felt I could have done better on the sky portion.  

I'm linking this up with Wednesday Wait Loss @ Inquiring Quilter.  

Thanks for stopping by!
