More work on the Seahorses

After my guild meeting this morning I went by "Gloria's Stash" again...needed a couple more greens and a nice red batik.  I tell you, if you like batiks, that place is hard to stay away from!



This afternoon I had planned to work on quilting the bird of paradise quilt, but there was thunder and lightning around all afternoon.

So instead, I worked on preparing some of my appliqué  for" Seahorse Samba". I got most of it cut out and glued to the stabilizer.  I even cut out the pieced blocks (with the "GO" cutter)



I decided I wanted the seahorses to go clockwise instead of counter-clockwise like I originally drew.  And, I don't like the fabric in the flower center...it's too drab.  Guess I'll have to go back to the shop :)

Generally, though I'm liking this...especially on that dark blue background...it really glows!
