Here Fishy, Fishy

Here Fishy, Fishy - My quilt guild's, Colorado West Quilters Guild, challenge this year was "Yikes Stripes" we had to use this absolutly hideous crazy striped fabric and strange spotty fabric. The only rules were that a noticable amount of both fabrics be used. I saw an area in the stripes that resembled a fish, that was where it began. All four fish, the eel, snails and seaweed were made from the stripe fabric, the starfish and anemone are from the other. The backing fabric is a cat design, hence the name 'Here Fishy, Fishy'. This quilt sold at our Guild action for $75, it is the first quilt I've sold.
