Description
The rows can be done in any order. Have fun playing with the colours and making this quilt reflect your personality. The alternate quilt was made by a friend using African fabrics to give it a completely different tone. Because she was reflecting the African desert, she left off the fish and added her own African animals instead! Anything is possible.
The fabric can come out of your stash. Even dip into your scrap basket for the fish. Very few large pieces are needed. I hope you enjoy making this as much as I did.
