Yes, the elusive rainbow trout. One of the most beautiful fresh water fish there is, sought after by anglers far and wide and also very delicious especially when fresh from the stream.
The fish is put together first, fused together using parchment paper over my pattern for placement. The fabrics are important for the fish, batiks with dots make it more realistic. Had to buy more fabric, darn :-)
The weeds are made on their own separately and then seen on later so you can twist, turn and bend them.
I took pictures along the process road, so I made a downloadable PDF pattern and tutorial for this quilt and put it up for sale in my etsy shop for only 5 bucks if anyone wants to try it. The fish pattern pieces are already reversed for you so all you have to do is print and play:-) there is also a detailed tutorial. The link for the pattern is here.
Happy Quilting!

Fantastic! I love this quilt. The fabrics you chose make a fish stand out for from the background. I also love how you kept the weeds three dimensional.
I agree. Love the idea of the twist in the plants. Also your water background is outstanding. Love your choice of fabrics in general.
