A combination today! Not fish and chips [too expensive in Australia!], but another fish in the BOM that I am working on. I have named these fish for no other reason than they appear to have a personality; today's fish is Esmae.
A few months ago I took up the challenge to create a quilt in a Scottish theme, anything I liked with the only pre-requisite being it had to be no smaller than 42" square. Mine surpassed that by 10" on all sides. I had fun choosing what to put into the quilt, as with a Scottish theme the ideas were boundless. Some blocks were 'proper' blocks, while the applique ones were mainly pictures taken from colouring in albums. This was the first quilt I have ever constructed 'out of my head', and over all I am rather pleased with the result.
