    I promised pics of my "FISH" quilt that I made for my SIL/Kevin who is an avid fisherman. I let him pick out the batiks for the fish. I used a panel & made PP fish with 10 pieces in each fish. This is out of my norm of quilting but this is just for the livingrm to lounge with. I tied brown embroidery thread in the trees, blue by the water & gray in the lower half. Machine quilted the rest. I know he'll just love it.

    Yes, it is. I was picking out fabrics for sometime & showed it to Kevin so it would be ok.

    That's come out really nicely. Great gift and good to hear Kevin was involved in the design process. Guarantees he'll be happy with it.
