Fishy Happenings

Yesterday, the second block of Fishy Business was released and I was rather keen to add to the shoal.  I’m making these as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, using the month’s colour of red for the body of one fish and the details of the other.

It didn’t take too long to make them.

As I was stitching away I thought of the fish that Mick catches (if he’s lucky) called Redfin.  Then I was going to call the other one Red Emperor, after another species of fish, but Mick said it should be Blue Fin Tuna.  Whatever……it’s all a bit of fun.

I do like your fish blocks, so much that I have printed off the first pattern. Thinking maybe that I could make them for next years RSC, I've got plenty to do this year, including finishing off some older RSC quilts.

Love these - I like yours as the body for one and details for the other, so far I'm coping with all the one colour...I hadn't thought to name them!

Your fish blocks are so cute! I'm still tempted to start making some myself, but have managed to resist taking on another project.

You will have to get Mick to take up embroidery and name them all on the quilt . ha ha !!
I do love those little fishes.
