PattyJo Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I've done this pattern several other times, but I loved my customer's fabric choices. Especially the border. It's a gift for a wedding. Here are a few pictures of it. and a couple close ups. My customer wanted water quilted on the borders.....so this is what I came up with. Thanks for looking.

CrazyAboutQuilting Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Oh Patty Jo, that is beautiful!! Both the quilt and the quilting. I love your quilting choices. How did you do the two borders? That looks so cool but I can't quite figure out how you stitched it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattyJo Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Marilyn, they are quilted as one border and they are just wavy lines that cross each other so that it looks sort of like water. I've tried to take a better picture of the border but just can't get one that shows very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Pretty pretty, Pat! I love the border and your twists and dual feathers are great designs for the blocks. Your water is perfect, echoing the shapes of the frisky fish. I will definitely file this design away--thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Pretty quilt and quilting! I just love batiks. At first they were too modern for me, but they have grown on me immensely. Is the fish border a batik? That is gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
