Thank you. First I made the strips using bright colors. The fish I found at Walmart, sold by the yard. I cut them arpart and fused on with wonder under and just stitched around the edges.

I have no idea, just took it off my camera, cropped off the background and downloaded it, this is the size it came out as.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments. I can't take the credit for the colors, I copied what I saw at Nancy's, but thanks again

Very pretty - I think I saw her demo this on one of her shows some time back, and have had every intention to do on for the GS, but never did get it done. Good job.

Well, isn't that cheerful!!! I don't think it matters that you got the idea from Nancy, YOU did the work, and it came out great! How large did you do your squares, 10" or 12"? I have an idea for this to do with fused on photos of my kitties that have passed over the Rainbow Bridge. This looks pretty simple, yet it works up really nicely. Thanks so much for showing us!! Hugs, Marji

Each strip of color is cut 2 1/2" wide. The final finished square is 20x20. You make the 20 square 4 times and sew it all together. Hope this helps

Oh, yes, what a great help, I just love love love LARGE squares, hee hee hee. This could be a bed quilt with just a few more squares, and it would be easy, too. Thanks so much for the info! Hugs, Marji
