Tropical Fish

 

Welcome to my Blog Hop Day! The theme for the blog hop is  hosted by Carol Swift from Just Let Me Quilt.

The July blog hop, "Something Smells Fishy", started Monday!



This challenge immediately thought of going to the beach in a tropical location. I reached for all the bright and colorful fabrics that made me think of the beach vacation. 

I decided to make a quilt that was both pieced and applique. I immediately had the idea and didn't go through a lot of different ideas like I sometimes do for these blog hops. I ran with the first idea I had.


I first pieced the border triangles and then based on that size, added the center fabric that will serve for the background for the fish.  


I then made a crazy tropical fish which will probably show you how little I know about fish anatomy.


I chose the backing fabric, and have cut the backing and backing fabric to size. 


I will show you the finished quilt as soon as it is finished.

Thank you for joining me on this blog hop. I posted a list of the other participants in the blog hop, so be sure to visit them to see more fishy projects!

Something Smells Fishy Blog Hop

 Since my YouTube channel is called Quilt and Color, I decided to work on better branding and use the same name for my blog. Changing the name on the banner would work, but it would be better if the name of the blog is called Quilt and Color. So I started this channel. It is a continuation of my channel High Road Quilter. You can view my older posts there. While that name was fine, it requires explaining and really isn't relevant to my current situation.

I am going to start posting on that channel from now on.  Please be sure to bookmark it and add it to your blog reader.


This means that my blog hop post will be posted on this channel tomorrow. I've made a colorful tropical fish quilt for this blog challenge and it is a wildly exuberant quilt. I hope you will join me over here tomorrow.


Our next blog hop is hosted by Carol Swift from Just Let Me Quilt.

This challenge had me swimming through my stash for fish fabrics.
I had more aquatic fabric than I thought!

Here are the people who are participating. Be sure to see their fishy creations, and come back tomorrow to see my project!

Inspirational Quote Crazy Quilt

 When I was showing the additions I was making to the Inspirational Quote Crazy Quilt, lots of my blog friends said they would like to see the quilt in person. The photographs just don't show the size of the additions, how they work with the other motifs that are around it, or where in the quilt the motifs are.

I started a YouTube channel so I could show you the quilt in video form to help with some of that. It doesn't replace seeing the quilt in person, but it is closer than the photographs.

I hope this video helps you see the quilt better in its full glory.
