Right after finishing Phillip - or block#3 - I knew I had to share the fun. In a girls' edition. With some of my favourite fabrics. And since Cassie not only loves my boy blocks but is expecting a little sister to her slightly less little girl I knew just who I'd like to share it with. I had a tiny layout insecurity for a moment which I took to my facebook friends - I couldn't possibly ask you all on here without ruining the surprise.

| Try a different placement of the corner HSTs and overall darker impression or stick with the old? |
Well, it proved a close call but the winning faction told me to stick with the blue. So, without further ado, here are the sister blocks I made. Same yet not the same. Unnamed fish, so Cassie can individualise them.
I'm glad to say the surprise went down more than well! Full-blown excitement well. Now close-ups. Because everybody likes close-ups. Matter of fact.
I'm very much looking forward to see what Cassie will turn them into. If she can ever stop stop staring at them on her wall, that is. ;-)
Happy sewing!
Dropped by from Quilt Story, I'm loving those fussy cut fish :)
ReplyDeleteVery fun! Love, love, love those fish!
ReplyDeleteI'm an aqua lover too! I love your combination of colors. I'm looking forward to see your quilt when it is done.
ReplyDeleteLove a fishy quilt! I made one for my daughter after she made threats to name my first grandchild Bjorn if I didn't made a quilt with Bjorn in it.
ReplyDeleteLove the center square. Your HST are absolutely perfect. Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteVery precise piecing *in awe sigh* and love the colours :)
ReplyDeleteThis is turning out so cool. And the fish are adorable.
ReplyDeleteOh I love these! The purple and teal, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI've said it before and I'll say it again, thank you for being the sweetest and sending me such perfect blocks :) I really don't know if I'll be able to think of anything special enough to turn them into to make me take them off the wall....
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Love the fussy cutting! :)
ReplyDeleteAHH!! Those fish and the star blocks are to die for! LOVE THEM!!
ReplyDeleteVery cute and original!
