Hi Robin,  I kept those stars… they compliment the “log-cabin kelp” down at the bottom… and yes, that’s kelp! Don’t worry that my fish have no eyes; I’m going to add them in the final stages. I’m imagining giant white eyes with black centers. I decided to make this quilt about fish because the mom-to-be is a... by robin 6 comments

I love your fishes, stars, & kelp. It is such a happy quilt and I know it will be loved. I just flipped through the new issue of Art Quilting Studio and guess whose smiling face looked back at me! Congratulations!
