Smells Like Fish

 
I pulled a number of blues and put them together in some improv hour glass blocks.  They are pretty straight for improv blocks, let me tell you.  If I were trying to make them straight, i couldn't have done it this well.....geez.

So I was trimming them up and working out placement when I thought, something's fishy. 

I cut fabrics and paired them, so I had an even number of them.  Each two, made two.  Combined for the second cut, again, two blocks made two blocks. Hmmmm.......

I had an even number of blocks on the design wall.

And one extra.  Just one.

Uh, huh.  So this quilt is going to be like that, huh?

I guess it just got its name......Something's Fishy.

Excitement - Just Wait Till You See THIS!!!

I went to Pilates class and then headed over to the Red Stick Quilt Shop.  (In between the two I stopped at Arby's for lunch.....)

The shop was filled with a ton of people!  And they all were getting fabric cut an buying stuff.  I was looking at yellows when someone said, this is pretty good for not even being open.

Then I remembered they are closed on Mondays!  LOL.  Rachel had a great day for not being open!  And so did I!!!!

Take a look at the most perfect piece of yellow for the London Fog piece.  The pattern mimics the face of Big Ben.  It will be a nice inner border.  i looked o  if there was a grey green but no luck.  So I think I will stay with my green and blue choices in the pile from yesterday.

I am kinda excited to start this one now!
