Caesg's Quilt

I've been meaning to blog this for quite some time. I finished my first quilt. One for our small friend Caesg....to keep her warm up there in Maine.
Love fishy patch
This little bit is based on Caesg's nickname....the little fishy mermaid love.
quilt front
This is the front of the quilt. I used the pattern for the lap quilt loosely from Amy Karol's Bend the Rules sewing book. The rest I just kinda winged it....as I am want to do when it comes to sewing in general.
quilt back
This is the quilt back with I thought turned out kinda looking likes waves after the washing I did to pucker up those wonky lines.
I like the effect.
mermaid
Also whipped up this mermaid for Caesg. Being she is a mermaid, we felt she needed to be represented in doll form.
As a whole I am happy with how the quilt turned out....and I learned alot in the process...
Much love and warmth to Caesg!
