FBP - 2011 Week 15 - Fish

I finished another catch up block for Friday's Block Party.

It's sort of hard to do the math for a block that is supposed to be 10.5 square when done....

I made the nine patch out of 3.5 inch square sections.  I actually paper pieced the two square with quarter triangles.

I added a 2.5 inch strip to the end and 1.75 strips to the top and bottom.  I will trim so it's 10.5 square when I put the quilt together.

When I quilt this block I will add eye and gills - will be fun!

I just have a few more blocks to do to get caught up with the blocks for Friday's Block Party - soon will be able to plan sashings and borders!
