Description
The pieced blocks also offer an option for creativity. The “chips” in this quilt use a free-form method of piecing. My alternate quilt raided the scrap basket to create large blocks of colour which are then cut down to size.
Enjoy going through your stash to locate just the right colour and texture for your fish!
Skill Level: new to intermediate, rotary cutting and basic sewing skills
