Under The Sea
42 x 48
It's a finish!
This is one of several quilts I made with some gifted fish fabric. This one was inspired by the book Nine Patch Pizzazz by Judy Sisneros. The book is more of a method and tips book that shows different layouts that combine large prints with nine patches.
The back and binding are different solid blues. I quilted it with some squiggles and bubbles.
The theme this month in my sewing space is March Madness (Quilting) Marathon. I'm going to concentrate on finishing up a lot of the small tops I have in the TBQ (to be quilted) pile. They will then be donated to:
And sew on...

CELEBRATE! (my word of the year)
March 16 - I won $4 on a lottery ticket. I don't ever BUY lottery tickets. I get one FREE ticket every month as a member of the Iowa Lottery VIP club. So I really did win $4!!
March 17 - Celebrating my Irish ancestry! All of my paternal ancestors were Irish - Joynt, McDermott, McNally, Brennan, Walsh, Herron, Griffin are a few of the surnames I've researched.

Congratulations on the lottery win -- don't spend it all in one place! And a nice finish, too. My only Irish were Scottish expats (northern Ireland) on their way to Pennsylvania.
That is a great fish quilt!! It kind of looks like you are looking into an aquarium!
Congrats on the lottery win!!
That's a fun finish! I love how the blue pops out all over the quilt. Congratulations on your win - maybe it was the Luck of the Irish in you?!
what a cute finish--somebody will really love this one!! Nice work;))
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you --I have Irish ancestors too..I am 3/4 French and 1/4 Irish..hugs, Julierose
What a fun finish! You are getting on a roll with all the finishes. You are amazing!
Very fishy and very lovely! Those bright blues are gorgeous. Great quilting too. I look forward to reading your posts each day to see what beauty you have just finished.
simply gorgeous !
I love those fish. Happy St Particks Day to you. I dont have Irish blood, as far as I know, but plenty of Scots and English.
You certainly put the fish fabric to good use Cathy. I do like your quilting, it looks quite a time consuming pattern. Is it longarm machined?
