The fish quilt is done. I have never done this much beading on a quilt. It was fun and addictive. It is going to the Marin Quilt Show for the Fun with Five challenge. But I am going to get some slides and enter it in some other shows. Last night the Jim Lehr News show had a section on the coral reef and how endangered it is. The under water shots were gorgeous. It was my quilt!!
The actual size is 42 inches by 10.5 inches.
Close ups of each fish and some of the beading:
This close-up shows some of the beading I did for the ocean floor.
so pretty! And what an unusual size. That would be fun to see at a show.
Awesome work Gerri!….. I love all the embellishing you have done.
Love it!
Beautiful Gerrie! I can’t wait to see it at the Marin show.
Its wonderful….wish I could see it close up! What are the tiny fish above the pink fish with the rainbow fins?
It’s gorgeous Gerrie. I’m a sucker for artwork with a water theme. Love all the beading! (Bet the finished quilt weighs a ton relative to its size!)
Awesome quilt!! Jen
so beautiful, so much detail. I am sure this would be a lovely attribute to any show, it is worthy of much admiration. The beading is such a nice touch, not too much and not too little-just enough.

Amazing! I love the little jellyfish! And your plants with the sealife at the base! Your fish is just amazing and from an avid bead embellisher, i say bravo! It is just amazing! Keep up the great work!
Double wow! wish I could see this in real life. The beading is spectacular…I am in awe of the time it must have taken but what a great effect.
Beautiful work, Gerrie! Nice use of stripey fabric…hope it comes east someday
Gerrie this is beautiful, the colours and details, so much work,
I hope it wins lots of prizes for you,
