Harvey

Today is the reveal of the latest Fiberactions challenge.  The challenge required the use of at least ten colors.  With my current shoulder issues, I was uncertain if I would make this challenge, but I always have a few pieces laying in wait of their turn to be quilted.  I choose Harvey for two reasons: he met the color requirements, and he is fairly small.  That meant I was able to get him quilted in time.

Harvey measures 20" x 30 1/2" and is the 5th in my painted wholecloth series of Fanta-Sea Fishees.  I used my usual batting: Quilters Dream Wool over Puff, and Superior's Lava and Bottom Line threads. I have had a great time both painting and quilting these funny fish!  Just Cleopatra left to go.

As soon as I laid it on the floor to photograph, you know who claimed it...

The more I tried to more him to get the detail shots, Bouree just got silly.  So you'll have to see the detail around him.

He's cuter than the quilt anyway!
