Something's Fishy


I really should be doing many other things, but I just had to share the quilt that I made for my daughter's pre-K class (I finished it while we were traveling with hubby.) I can't take credit for the idea. It came from Marcia Layton's book Handprint Quilts. Each child had their hands dipped in paint and then the teachers embellished the prints with "puffy" paints. Although it's hard to see, I sewed on sequins for bubbles and made little waves with a blue thread. I also added each child's picture and made it look like bubbles in the center of the quilt. It will be auctioned off to help raise money for the school, and I have to say that it's probably one of my favorite quilts- VERY easy to make. (But I won't be buying it back since the minimum bid is $200.)
