Thread: pieced and quilted with Aurifil (note: I've never used Aurifil for hand stitching before, but I used it to hand stitch the binding down. I was amazed at how little it knotted and tangled, even with a really long piece. Great thread.)
Batting: Quilters Dream Request - a low loft cotton. It quilted beautifully.
Quilting: All free motion quilted on a domestic machine; Pfaff Quilters Expression 4.0. It has been a year this month that I started linking up with Leah Day Quilt Along. I don't think I could have quilted this quilt without her fabulous teaching and support. Thanks Leah!!!
If you've ever wondered why I tend towards blues, greens and teals, you just have to look outside my window.

ReplyDeleteUnusual quilt with fish on it, but O SO beautiful.
ReplyDeletegreat quilting and I love those KOI
Did you embroider them by hand (with Aurifil)?
Absolutely awesome.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is beautiful. I've really enjoyed watching the process of you putting it together. Aurifil is absolutely my favorite thread.

ReplyDeleteWay to go Pat! Your Koi quilt is amazing - thanks for another look at it :*)
ReplyDeleteYou were very productive this month.
Wow Pat - that is just fantastic! That quilting is very impressive!
ReplyDeleteIt's really wonderful. I love the koi, and the detail of the extra blocks in the sashing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the in situ photo complete with matching pillow. Like you I am fortunate to live on the water, but ours is a frozen lake river combo at the moment. With a morning temperature of -1 F hunkering down to quilt is the perfect choice for the day and I expect for February.
ReplyDeleteWhoop! Way to go, it look Amazing!! I think the quilting in the light blue border is my favorite. That or the fish scale quilting.
