Peg made up these quilts using these hand appliqued Fred Fisherman blocks made by her husband's mother and grandmother. They have been in a box for 60 years!
There were lots of them! Enough to make 3 small quilts and a wallhanging.
I had lots of fun quilting up these guys. I made each one a little different- making the sky and the foreground a little different. This guy is walking through rocks and grass with his fish on his pole.
And this one caught two!
And this poor guy came home empty-handed. Or maybe he is just on his way to the fishing hole...
I really loved how these special quilts turned out. Quilting on something so sentimental makes me a little nervous sometimes! But I'm so glad that this UFO is finally able to come out of the closet and be enjoyed for many years to come!
