This is a close up of the man in the boat fishing. His boat is actually a pocket.
The rest of the quilt has fish in a cross-section of the pond he's fishing and some other things that will lend themselves to the imagination when it's finally finished.
I start out with bits and pieces. They arrange themselves and then I stitch 'em down.
I like the way the stitching looks on the back of the fisherman. Quilt lining will cover the stitching but I like looking at it meantime. Eventually I'll get around to adding his fishing pole and line. I never notice stray threads until I look at pictures.
There are all kinds of textured fish to attach to this quilt. Fish make a good theme for a man's quilt.
