Awesome job. Love the colors and design. Don't you love PPing? Last two doll quilts I am finishing up are PP'ed.

Your sun is incredible.

the detail is fantastic! i particularly like the porpoises and fish in the waves!

Thanks. They weren't part of the pattern. I found a mistake in the paperpiecing after I had the whole top done and rather than ripping out, I appliqued over it. It covered it up well

good thinking! will remember that technique!!

It was much easier than I thought! I only experimented one time, with a simple sailboat pattern I got free online. The hardest part is lining up the ones that are angled. I've ripped out a few because I miscalculated. The best advice I can give is to buy more fabric than it calls for. I cut it close on mine...I was getting nervous that I'd have enough. I did, so that was a good thing.
