a patchwork fish

a patchwork fish.


because I've finally finishing piecing my liberty quilt! and there were a few spare itty bitty pieces left over. 

also because I am putting off piecing together a back for the quilt, or doing any form of housework, and I had to do something till it stopped raining and then I could go for a walk.

  7. That's gorgeous; I love it. I have a wooden fish attached to my bathroom light switch, I'm rather wishing it was a snazzy patchwork one now! Can't wait to see the finished quilt. x
