Baby Quilt for a Boy

A boy it is.  And I am excited that my son and DIL asked me (well actually she asked me) to make them a quilt.  As they had the cat first, it had to be included...so I started with this picture fabric.

Then I liked the polka dots but lines go well with polka dots, right?

Nice, but a bit boring so I added some attic window frames....

Now, its cooking.  Borders are next.

More Gone Fishin'

Progress is being made.  These shapes are pretty cute and I am having good success at getting each fish to finish up at 2 1/2" by 6 1/2".

Quite a pile of trimmings though.

Now for the borders...

Taking a break to make a Fishy project...

Stop the presses, or rather I am voluntarily stopping my current projects to make this one for someone special.  Content warning...there are fish....

Here's the cutting piles,

These are the carcasses of the fish.  Stitch and flip to make the fishy shapes.  The pattern by Four

And I am pressing seams open because that is what I do.  They are wonderfully flat and non-bulky.
