Florida Fishies Baby Quilt

The fishy quilt top is finished! After many debates and auditions of fabrics for the sashing/framing, I made a decision and got it done!

The finished size is 40.5" wide x 47" long.  The breeze flipped one of the corners under in the outdoor photo. Here's an indoor shot that is squared up better. 

All of the fabrics in this quilt top came from my stash, and many of them are well aged. The featured fish print is called "Mod Fish" by Michael Miller. I originally bought two remnant pieces of that fabric about five years ago for an earlier baby quilt. The checkerboard panels are a mix of old and newer fabrics. 

The real oldies are the two sashing fabrics. The selvage of the green with swirls says "Virginia Robertson for Fabri-Quilt, 1992." I didn't even start quilting until 1995! The light grey stripe is by Country Threads for Benartex, and I bought that piece in 2001.

The next step is to get this top layered and ready for quilting. I bought a great flannel print last week to use on the back, and I've already found a batting in the right size. Everything is ready to go!
