Finally got around to putting all the 'fish' together! Thank you all. They are great. I took the ones I had to a quilt camp a few weeks ago and everyone showed a lot of interest. Pam had hers there too. So nice to see them in real life.   
Cheers,     Deb.

Little Happy Snapper by Kerry Glen

This is one of the many that got away.The price in the supermarket even at $30 NZD is cheap compared to the 3 times we ventured out this summer in our boat.I really enjoyed the fish challenge and one of my students last week was inspired to make her grandson a little quilt using the Cut Around tool and creating the body of this little fellow as I did.

Hi Deb,
Sorry this photo is a little late but I had trouble getting it on the page.
I'm a quilter but not yet a computer whizz!
I have called this little piece 'Two's Company'.
I just had to do something tropical since I live in the jolly place and I got my inspiration from a screen saver on this computer that gives me so much trouble and strife.
I will post the quilt on Monday so you will have another little parcel to open.
I leave on Monday for a month away so I'm still trying to finish a quilt to submit to Houston if all goes well.
Cheers,
Ruth

"Up Stream"

These fish are basking in the sunshine and warm water "Up Stream" somewhere exotic!!!
What a lovely thought.
Enjoy the moment Deb.
Best wishes Anna

The Majestic Whale

On a recent visit to the South Island we spent a night at Kaikoura. We were asked whether we were going out to see the whales. Unfortunately we didn't have the time but when I saw the next topic was fish I thought of the whales and the memories of seeing them on a trip across to Vancouver Island. This is my fish quilt to remember the "Majestic Whales".  Ngaire

Fish - Judith

This quilt became a challenge within a challenge, inspired by a sign above a fish shop depicting the letters in "fish" distorted into the shape of a fish.  I just had to see if I could do something similar.  This is the result.

Thank you Deb, I had fun and don't all the quilts look wonderful.

Cheers

Rainbow Fish - Helen

I have always been impressed with the colours (mainly blues) of the Rainbow Fish in the children's book, by Marcus Pfister, that I gave to one of my nieces. When Deb chose her theme I decided to make a quilt featuring a REAL Rainbow Fish. My research of this Australian/New Guinea small fish resulted in lots of information about species, habitat, feeding, popularity in aquariums etc, however, images that I could find were, to say the least, very disappointing. And so after all the research my Rainbow Fish is fictional - this is how I believe that a Rainbow Fish should look!!
