Sue M's #4, Purple Blue and Orange

I haven't quite finished my piece, just need to stitch the binding down but have taken a photo of the piece for the reveal. I will sit and stitch tonight while the football is on television.

My piece was inspired by the fish in Susan Carlson's book Free Style Applique. I didn't follow her applique techniques though.  It measures approx 10 x 12 inches.

As you can see the fish is made in various orange fabrics and the background is purple and blue. The seaweed is painted vliesofix.
