Awesome Ocean

I am so excited to make this quilt!

I love Elizabeth Hartman's patterns, 

all of her animals are so cute!

I'm making this for one of my grand daughters 

for Christmas.

Here are all of my Preppy Whales...

There are eight of each underwater animal, 

in eight different color categories.

I am using fabrics from my stash.

Luckily, I had a fat eighth bundle of Elizabeth Hartman's "Reef" fabric.

I just chose fabrics to go along with that.

Here is Mr. Manatee, I just love him!

The background is Kona Oyster.

It's kind of blah but it also doesn't outdo the animals.

I thought of using blue, but it clashed with the colors of some of the animals.

Look at the Manatee with the seahorse fabric!

The brown one's body is made of safety pins.

I am having a great time making this quilt, 

I can hardly wait to get started on Octavia,

the octopus!
