Sometimes a change in plans makes all the difference in whether you like a project or love a project, and Fish School is one of those times. I love how this turned out!!
The new jelly roll I chose was a line called Glass Beads, and the colors are so pretty with little dots and circles of lots of color. This was a much better finish than the Kaffe would have been. It has a "cleaner" look. And I can use that Kaffe jelly roll in something else eventually.
This worked out to 43 x 52", and should make a nice baby quilt with it's bright primary colors. There are enough left over strips to do a scrappy binding too. Now to find a good backing.
The fish row was a Row By Row kit that I picked up in Iowa several years ago. I had originally thought it would be a bench pillow or maybe a table runner. But this is what it really wanted to be. There are more of these row kits in my cabinet, so maybe I can do something similar with another one eventually.
Congrats on a bright and colorful finish! I agree, this is what the kit really wanted to be.
ReplyDeleteSara, what fantastic use of a 'row by row.' I love the quilt, too!!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a delight! And you are right on about the jelly roll choice -- they contrast but don't clash.
ReplyDeleteFun quilt! The strips look like they are filled with bubbles.
ReplyDeleteI love it, well done!
