I should have made smaller pieces for the fish. I'm having a hard time keeping the bigger pieces from getting puffy. Of course, it doesn't help when Max lies under the quilt while I am appliquéing. I try to use him as a table, but he tends to rollover just as I have it in the perfect spot.
I plan to add some ginkgo leaves floating in the water. I am also thinking of adding some bamboo stems with a shadow effect if I can find a way to add organza by hand. I want to do all of this by hand if I can.
I love working with my hands, but it is very slow compared to using a machine. So far, I have finished one block and a few borders done. The blue is chalk. I hope this washes out! I went back to using stencils and a washable ink marker after I finished this block.
I decided to try some free-form fill on this block. It has been fun, but it is taking a while to finish it.
