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.

    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

      patchwork fishes would make lovely light pulls I quite agree! now wondering where I can hang one! hoping for some decent light so I can get a photograph of the quilt.

    This reminds me of a beautiful poem by Elizabeth Bishop, "The Fish".
    Lovely work, Tess. xxx
