Mr. Blue Morning Fish

Mr. Blue Morning Fish is an Embellished wall quilt. The Fish is fused Applique. The inside of the border is made of twisting dark blue and white Rick-rack.

The fabrics on the borders and waves were cut from an African print. I quilted the piece with a transparent polyester thread.

This quilt was inspired by my sister, Mary's blue fish....this quilt is for her.

Good Morning Turtles 2 of 2

Wow, I've had a lot to do since the last post....here is some more of Good Morning Turtles:

When I finished making my motifs, I laid them onto the quilt top ( marbled fabric) for placement. I use a design wall, so, I pinned my design elements when I liked the placement.

Then, I traced around each shape.

I machine quilted the top. I quilted along the lines and shapes in the marbled design. I also quilted around the turtle and flower shapes....not inside of the shapes, just around them. I also added beads to the surface.

 

Then, I cut the top and the batting around the inside of the shapes, glued the flower and turtle shapes in the spaces. I painted the space between the shapes with fabric paint.

So much Fun!
