Somethin's Fishy

It would seem as though I haven't been busy at all...but I don't want to be giving away secrets....oh...but look...what's this...it's a little something I came across in my closet, hiding in 'oceans' of other stuff:
It's a little art quilt I made for a call out from my guild to become one in a large group display.  It was a good experiment in collage and especially pairings of fabrics our mum's once told us wouldn't match at all!!!?#!! (Oh my if they could only see what's going on with polka dots, stripes and plaids these days)!

The little fish are dimensional and sewn on by a straight line down the centers, and you can't tell from the photo but there are dozens of pale champagne beads interspersed among them resembling all the bubbles they're sending out!  All these elements fit nicely among shapes, sequins, beads, and bling...oh...and a little quilting!
