Spring Quilt Festival
Amy's Creative Side is having a Spring Quilt Festival. Be sure to check it out. Here is my entry. "Summer at the Beach". This is one of my two favorite quilts of all time.
This is not the best photo! I made this several years ago. It's from the book Quiltagami. The bottom row of fish is different from the original pattern. This was my first attempt at mixing origami with quilting. I love origami. When I taught world history I would always teach the kids origami when we came to the chapters on Asia. I love the beach and this reflects the beach beautifully. There is a chubby baby for my husband and I as well as our 2 girls. They got to pick the fabric for their chubby baby. It's just a fun, summery quilt. Here are a few closeups.
