I am finally using my favourite Kaffe Fassett Paperweight fabrics (that I pick up every time I visit the Hyggeligt booth at a quilt show) for the fish bodies, bright polka dot scraps for the faces, fins and tails, and different blues for the ocean background. It's so fun to try to find little 1" scraps to use for the fish eyes!
These are all left facing fish, and the right facing fish blocks are all cut and ready to sew.
You can see Lorna's Kissy Fishy over at Sew Fresh Quilts, and you can get the pattern at her etsy store here.
Darling Kissy Fishy blocks!!!! Glad you got to test her pattern and use some great Kaffe Fasset fabrics too! I love how your left sided fish turned out and will look forward to seeing them kissing soon too! Kathi
ReplyDeletethat is cute - I have the blackbirds pattern and I think I will start making a couple blocks a month like I am with another pattern if I wait until I am done with a couple quilts it will take forever to start
ReplyDeleteLorna is coming to speak at our guild in November . I have already booked a day of vacation to take her class! I have some of that paperweight fabric too....it looks great in your fishies!!
ReplyDeleteThese do look fun, and it appears that you have had a good time finding the perfect fabrics for each block.
ReplyDeleteThe fussy cut circles are a nice effect in the eye-balls. : )
