He's coming right along. Each row of scales is worked in brick stitch first, then attached through a row of beads on the base. It has a really nice feel to it, and I'm trying to vary the colors so it looks interesting. Still toying with the ideas for beads, thinking about a red and white "float" bead at the spot just above the lure he will be attached to, or maybe small fish shaped ones in the same colors as the scales....still not sure
Today I should be able to pin the two quilts so they will be ready for quilting...I got the backings stitched together (had to piece since I got the 97 cent a yard unbleached muslin for the backs and its only 36 inches wide)
Have also been working on the design for the car quilt....this one is taking a while since its so many design features and new techniques.
Today's work list includes a bit of shopping and some yard work (after a week of rain, we need to either mow or get some goats!!)
