Very clever the way you made a dark "eye" on each seahorse!

Oh my gosh, I cannot believe it but I finally see the fish. Guess it's way too late for this. LOL.

Never too late!

Well I suppose I have to get on and make this now after all the wonderful comments! And I have some lovely blue and sea green batiks that will fit the bill nicely! Just got a couple of tops to quilt first then it's next on the list, and I think I'll do the first one with fish a) because it's smaller and b) because it's slightly different to the one in Anna's avatar came from so will be truly original. :-D

I meant it was too late at night & my mind was having trouble focusing enough to spot the fish. When I did, I just laughed at myself because there they were in plain sight. LOL

georgiat 07-23-2011 06:22 PM

OK! NOW I SEE THE FISH! Someone posted the direction and when I backed up from the monitor there they were! Too cute!

Katrine 07-24-2011 07:39 AM

I just read all thro' and so pleased you are going to make number one - it's so good with the fish included. Great design K - and great subjects for fmq too, lots of possibilities....
