Making a small art quilt…with fish!

Technique Tuesday Time!

I shared a set of four small quilts last week that I had made after a trip to the Smithsonian, specifically the museum of natural history. I always loved that one as a kid!

This week for Technique Tuesday, I thought you might be interested in some of the techniques used to construct these. They use small pieces of fabric, so they’re fun to do in between other projects. Mine are about 9 x 10 inches, and I often make up a bunch of patchwork tops at one time, as long as I’ve already got my machine out

They’re also really fast to make, so you could possibly still find time to make a few for holiday gifts this year.  Make them unique, with pictures that will be especially meaningful to your giftee!
