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.
We are a group of 20 women, from Australia, Canada, Ireland, United Kingdom, and United States who are interested in challenging our quilting and art skills. We have banded together to challenge ourselves every two months with a different theme or pallet.

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.
