Today's detail is another fractal design that you can print on inkjet fabric sheets and work into your quilts.
I hope someone can use these. I've tried to think of all sorts of different things that can be used in or on crazyquilts. I've always loved fractals. Like crazyquilts, they're just so interesting to look at! This one reminds me of bubblegum.

Fish Under The Sea - Continued
Well this block has been challenging. When I started on it, I had no idea where I was going to with it. All I knew was that I had that beautiful pink Mother Of Pearl fish and I wanted to use it on this piece.
I did not think this out at all. I started by adding the fancy yarns (which by the way, are a pain to work with) and then I did the tatted do-dads to the left. Yes, they were supposed to be the cast-on stitch but despite Sharon's help and instructions, all I ended up with was a great big fat kanoodle! So I resorted again to my tatting needle which worked out well because I remembered that if you do just a single stitch, instead of the double stitch, you get those wonderful twisted strands. So I'm going to add a few more of those.
My husband was kind enough to drill holes in some of my little seashells for me so I added them and the dyed pearls.
I'm not done with this yet. I still have more little fishy charms to add and some other beads and sequins. Believe it or not, my husband doesn't care for crazyquilting too much but he really likes this piece. I guess it's going in the right direction!

100 Details In 100 Days - Day 64
Does this remind you of peacock feathers or what!
Today's crazyquilt detail is another of my Fractal designs for the purpose of creating your own fabric sheets.
Again, you can use these not only for crazyquilting but also for greeting cards, memory albums, scrapbooking and altered art.

Fish Under The Sea Block
I just started on this block which will have a "Fish Under The Sea" theme.
I have absolutely no clue where I'm going with this piece and am feeling quite challenged at the moment. I have a ton of pretty little fish beads and charms, i have all sorts of small sea shells (I'll need Scott to drill some holes in them for me) and that's all I know about what I'm doing!
I wanted to cover the seams but only did a simple feather stitch on each seam using a thread color as close to the fabric as I could. The blue fabric at the top is one of my painted dryer sheets.
I'm off to figure out where I want to go with this. I should have more to share tomorrow.
