Today I want to share my latest finish of Fishy Bones! This was a free pattern on Craftsy by Unicornharts before the big shake up. I hope you downloaded it before it disappeared!
I thoroughly enjoyed making every single one and finishing the lot of them with a couple of twists and turns along the way!
 |
| MINI FISHY BONES 8" X 5" |
Machine quilted with pebbles or in this case I'm calling them bubbles and finished off with slice of rainbow! I cut 3/4" rainbow strips and made two sections for the binding.
Sometimes when a 'quilt' is so tiny, its fun to add an extra detail to compensate for the size! Glub, Glub!

| SCHOOL OF BONES 9.5" X 13.5" |
There were quite of few people who suggested the fish should be accompanied by a pesky cat! I thought about it and wasn't sold on the idea completely! But I kept thinking about it and in the end I came up with what I think is the perfect solution for me!
I wanted the illusion of a cat, very subtle and ghost like. I used white along with very light shades of cream/off white and just a dash of pink for the nose. I fully intended to add it to the front, but it just wasn't working for me. Backings are always a good place to add a bit of randomness and so it was done!
The binding is 'Heavy Metal' fabric like the fish in a dark burgundy. Gotta love a little metallic in fabric once in a while!
It's good to have these done! I've also finished another of my daughter's WIP quilts. It marks the end of an era with her unfinished quilting adventure! I'll be sharing that one soon.
Not even a week into the New Year and I've made progress!

ReplyDeleteLove the rainbow fish and the pesky cat!
ReplyDeleteHi Jayne! Oh boy, this is really cute and I love the bubbles quilting pattern. That is just the perfect finishing touch! He's such a happy and bright little skeleton. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteIt’s always fun to throw in a couple fun small finishes into the mix!
Deleteyou're on a roll! Love your fishies
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the progress. What fun fish. I love the cat on the back too. Metallic fabric is sure fun in the right place.
ReplyDeleteThose look like so much fun to play with! I love how your fishies turned out!
ReplyDeleteThe rainbow fish just makes me so incredibly happy, and I think that the cat on the back is very silly and well done. You are so close to being able to play and explore! You can do it!
ReplyDeleteI have that pattern, and now I want to go make one, but I'm really behind on other projects, so best stick with the plan of getting caught up. Love that rainbow fish -- you just can't go wrong with all that color (and the cat is a cute bonus).
ReplyDeleteWe will always have ‘another’ project we want to do! My Fishy Bones took a year to finish! One day you’ll do it, once your caught up and are looking for something small to make!
DeleteYeah for finishing up projects. I'm not good at that game -- I always just start the new projects anyway ha ha ha ha
ReplyDeletePeacocks, trees, fishes, cats...you are just cranking out the super cute finishes! I'm catching up on reading blogs after a couple of weeks away and enjoying the explosion of colorful completed quilts here. Go, Jayne, go! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks to you I was able to download this pattern before it went away. I absolutely love what you made. You are always so inspiring. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
