    My neighbor is called the whale and dolphin lady. She travels the world photographing them and swimming with them. She commissioned me to do this quilt for her. Not much piecing in this, big panel down the middle. We both love how it turned out!

    Trick to that was finding the material and the quilting! Nice job on both counts!
