I spent a good handful of hours this past weekend sewing up blocks for the Under the Sea quilt. So I thought I would show my progress.
My plan calls for 12 quilt sections made up of 4 blocks each. The blocks are constructed in Log Cabin chevron style. Each section will feature a different underwater animal. Here are the three I just completed.
The first two have coral reef fish swimming in formation. These will be placed across the top of the quilt. The third has starfish, which will end up somewhere in the middle.
I placed an order at Connecting Threads for more batik fabric that contains some harmonizing greens. Until the fabric is delivered, I can design and construct the sea creatures for the remaining blocks. So far I have baby turtles. I want to try making jellyfish, which sea turtles love to gobble up. and maybe some more coral reef fish.
Other ideas? Any suggestions will be dutifully pondered.

This looks like it will be a winner!

You said in a previous post that your fabrics were 2.5 in. did you keep them that big to make your chevron blocks or did you cut them to 1.5

I kept them whole. The chevron shapes are 2 inch wide, so only three strips plus the center square (4″) per 10″ block. The sewing is going fast.
