The fish have eyes now

Today I solved the dilemma of the leafy panels. There are now waterlilies and lily pads quilted in them, surrounded by echo quilting.

I raided the button jars to find little black buttons for the fish eyes and they are now stitched in place.

The bullrushes are much happier with the little tops added on.

Now the quilt will take a dip in the washing machine to develop its texture while I make a label for the back.
