Last week, I showed my 12 x 12 inch fish pond quilt<\/a> before any fusing or quilting.<\/p>\n

This week, I’ve layered the quilt and started fusing and quilting.<\/p>\n

To give the illusion that the fish are swimming under the water and the water lilies, I first fused and quilted the fish, then fused the ripples over the fish.<\/p>\n

To create the illusion of distance, I quilted ripple lines closely together at the top of the quilt, with small stitches.\u00a0 As I got closer to the bottom, I spaced the ripples farther apart and used a longer stitch length.<\/p>\n

I quilted the ripple lines with a variegated rayon thread that I’ve used before on several water quilts.\u00a0 I first used it on this quilt<\/a>, then on this one<\/a>, and this one<\/a>.\u00a0 I love how it looks like the sun is sparkling on the water!<\/p>\n

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

Next I’ll add the lily pads, then lastly the lily flowers.\u00a0 If I think I need additional ripples, I’ll slip them under the lily pads before fusing them in place.<\/p>\n
