Sea Horse Collage wall hanging

https://www.sewcanshe.com/blog/2018/6/1/show-off-saturday

So I bought a kit for the Laura Heine Sea Horse collage quilt a few years ago.

It came with some fabrics that were smaller than a fat quarter. I was saving this navy blue scrap for the eye for at least a year. I put it in with the kit.

I bought some of my own fabrics that I thought would work. Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I liked this light green eye better.

I never made a collage quilt before. I can't tell you how much fun this was. You definitely need a design wall to pin your pieces to and lots of pins.

Everything overlaps. Gave her a flower crown.

Saved my last fat quarter from a line of fabric called "Girlfriends". It had the mermaids on it. I cut out all of those babies. I have sea horse eggs in the sea weed.

This is the background that I chose for it. It is a dark blue batik. I had the fish fabric in my stash for about 20 years. It was a fat quarter. The pink sponge plant I drew myself and fussy cut the oval tops out of 2 charm squares from Kaffe Fassett fabrics. The tall leaves are from a fat quarter by

 Jane Sassaman called Garden Divas. It's another old, old fabric. I'm glad I hoarded it. I love it on this project.
