    Default Under the deep blue sea

    I made this bargello type quilt from a fat quarter book by M'Liss Rae Hawley. When it was finished, my DH told me it looked like the ocean. So I fusible appliqued some fish and seaweed to make it look like the bottom of the ocean. A friend did the long arm quilting for me.
