Fish Lips and All

So I have tried to be good and focus on getting half finished projects completed but I am in need of a color fix.  I am craving Big - Bold - Bright with a whole lot of Crazy.  And where do I go to crush that craving but to my stash of designer Westminster Fabrics - more specifically, Brandon Mably.

 

Here are some of the fabrics that have made the first cut.  I am wanting to play with strong colors and geometric patterns.

But you might be asking where do fish come into play?

The focus fabric on this quilt will be Brandon Mably's Gone Fishing fabric.

I have been petting and cherishing this fabric for quite some time.    The print is HUGE and the fish make me smile.

I have collected two different colorways and I think both will make it into this quilt.


Isn't this little puffer fish awesome!?!

 

And you can't make a crazy fish quilt without including Brandon's whimsical 'Fish Lips' fabric.

So there you go, if you have been losing sleep over this question - fish do apparently have lips!

Here is what I have so far.  Now I need to make some final desicions on some solids and small scale prints.

I will definitely share the finished top with you soon!










For more giggles, here is a picture of a quilt a friend made using the same fish fabrics in bright citrus colors.  Who says quilts need to be square!
