The quilt and pillow pictured below was made for a boy who has had a hard life. The one thing he enjoys is fishing. The quilt was created around this joy. My mom met this boy and wanted me to make a quilt. We found the fish fabric and then started to pull other fabrics from my statch. The fabrics included a variety of camouflage and some recycle men's plaid shirts. The backing was two pieces of anti-pill fleece by go to batting and backing. My mom wanted to quilt to have a rounded circular pattern. She really liked the storm at sea pattern so I modified it to work with the fabrics I had. Because I had leftover blocks and backing fabric, I decided to make a matching pillow. I named the quilt "Fishing Holes".
Thanks, Jess
