I’m designing a new art quilt which will feature a koi pond and irises.\u00a0 It will be 18 inches wide, and anywhere from 36 to 60 inches in length.\u00a0 Fortunately, the condo building I live in is surrounded by gardens and lagoons which are home to more than 100 koi.\u00a0 So I have lots of photos to use as inspiration – here are a few of them.<\/p>\n

\"inspiration<\/a><\/p>\n

The arrangement I’m planning will have irises in the foreground, in front of the pond with lily pads and swimming fish.\u00a0\u00a0 I traced some key elements from my photos, then enlarged my tracings and put them on my design wall on top of a piece of dark green fabric that is a similar color to the water in our lagoons.\u00a0 I think I like the one with fewer lily pads.<\/p>\n

\"tracing<\/a>\u00a0 \"fewer<\/a>\u00a0 \"lots<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I decided to make a smaller version (12 x 12 inches) to ensure my idea would work when translated to fabric and thread.\u00a0 At this point all the pieces have fusible web and paper on the back.\u00a0 They need to be fused in place, then I will add decorative stitching.<\/p>\n

\"12x12<\/a><\/p>\n
