Fishbowl Quilt Blocks



I went up to see my sister graduate from College (Diesel Tech / Mechanic) and of course we bought fabric, we went through her stash, and decided to use some of it to make a couple of skirts. They turned out real cute (I'll upload a picture of mine). Also we decided that we would do our own version of quilt block of the month. Each of us would make 2 blocks, keep one, and send the other to each other. Our first choice was the fishbowl block, and our variation was since the block is only a 6" block, we would alternate the block with a solid 6" block and create a 12" block. The only other criteria was the fishbowl was to have fish in it. I had finished mine, and then discovered some really cool fish fabric my mother had brought me from Hawaii, and I had made Doug a pair of boxers with it, but had some perfect sized scraps for the fish bowl blocks. I was originally looking for some black fabric as the contrasing color, but then my eye fell on the rainbow fabric I had bought for bags, and decided it would be a fun contrast since all the colors were already in the fish fabric.
