My three little seahorses are finished. Scroll to the bottom of the post to see the finished quilt. Or read through for information about my construction techniques. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are my three seahorses about a week ago, temporarily fused to parchment paper, and pinned to the background with layers of tulle pinned behind and over them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I debated whether to add the tulle under or over the seahorses, or both. Also, how many layers of tulle. I found the tulle dulled their bright colors a bit, and decided it would be better to have the tulle only under the seahorses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I layered the seaweed fabric with batting and backing. Then I added one layer of tulle and basted around the edges. I quilted around the seaweed shapes. Then I added more strips of tulle and quilted them – some strips have one additional layer of tulle and others have 2 or 3 layers. I think this looks like sunlight shining into the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
