Arent fishes one of the cutest creatures?
We have an aquarium at home, and I love staring at them.
They make me feel relaxed and calm after a tiring day.

Thats why I wanted my next project to have a fish pattern.
Timingly, I found this summer school quilt byMissouri Star.
Its like how I imagined it to be!
I had so much fun making this project I am sure youll enjoy it too.
Cut it into half two times to make 4 pieces of 2 1/2 squares.
Iron the 1 3/4 squares in half diagonally.
Step 2:
Get one white strip and cut 3 pieces of 2 1/2 squares.
Repeat with the other 1 3/4 square.
Trim off the edges and press them open.
These will be the fins.
Step 4:
Assemble the fish.
Sew the fish together.
see to it the folded triangle is loose.
Step 5:
Fold the loose triangle towards the center to make it into a fishtail.
Top stitch along the edge.
Now you have the curve.
Press it with an iron.
Step 6:
Take 2 pieces of 4 1/2 squares from your yardage.
Cut them diagonally in half.
Add them to the sides two times at a time.
you might fold them in half to make a crease and match them to the center seam.
Press it out open.
Trim off excess to make a 6 1/4 square.
You need 6 across and 7 down for a total of 42 blocks.
