First I want to thank our dear Pat on her hill for her suggestions and encouragement that kept me going thru this project... and most of all for brilliantly suggesting the wavy lines for the quilting. This quilt is so colorful and busy it was the perfect solution.
This quilt was made for my son to liven up his very beige apartment. He and I have both had a long-time fascination with salt water and reef aquariums. Other than the twisted seaweed and the fish under the arch (both adapted from the book Quilted Sea Tapestries by Ginny Eckley) everything is my original idea.
You can see waayyyy too many photos of the completed wallhanging at-

Such a wonderful piece, you are so clever - if your son ever gets tired of it, I have a bare wall that it would look really nice against and I also live near the beach so it would be quite at home.
Leslie, it is a beautiful work of art.

Oh Leslie, this must exceed all your original dreams. It is just amazing. I'm thrilled that I was able to join in to a very tiny extent. It was a terrific idea, and you have done it so cleverly. Today I saw the pearl for the first time - took my breath away. Look where you get to when you let your mind run riot! This seems to be so much more 'you' than piecing? Well done and good for you for sticking with it. . In message <7mroqiF3i1a0...@mid.individual.net>, Leslie& The Furbabies in MO. <quilteac...@yahoo.com> writes

WOW!!!!! Leslie, that's fantastic! I love the little neons, clown fish and angel fish, as well as the turtle, anemones, oyster with pearl, coral, etc. That's just wonderful! What has your son said so far? <G>

This is absolutely a wonder! A true work of art and I agree with Gen, this should go to a quilt show...what an artist you are! I'm in awe.........Donna

BEG! BEG! BEG! (Subtle aren't I?) I'm not usually that crazy about picture quilts, (although they fascinate me), but I REALLY LOVE that quilt, Leslie. You did a stupendous job! I suppose you've got your heart set on giving it to your son, huh? ;-)

Wow!! That's great!! It looks lovely from afar and interesting up close too. I'm glad you added all the close ups so we can see the details. Looks like you did thread painting on at least some of the fish (did I get that right?) - however you did it they have lovely texture.

Thank you, everybody, for all the kind comments. Yes, I really am going to send it on to my eldest son. It's a kind of a legacy thing.... leaving something special behind when you're gone. I want my sons to have that from me. Their other quilts are all 'using' quilts and won't be around all that long. Now on to the next project for my other son. What can I do that will be the same caliber???? Yikes! This pushing the limit is not easy. ;-)
(And, no, it won't ever be entered in a show. My work is not of that caliber. I am quite pleased with the finished quilt but there are too many 'galloping horse' things on/in it.)

Very, very pretty, Leslie! I also enjoy viewing aquariums, but don't want the work and expense of owning one. Maybe I should follow your lead and make a fabric aquarium! Pat in Virginia
