Here, with much fanfare (ta-dah!) is grandma's second pattern. This is the first in her Somewhere Beyond the Sea series. This first one contains two patterns, Shelina Seahorse and Olivia Octopus. They each are 12" x 14" and are done using fusible web. Grandma knows I love tropical fish!
These quilts are constructed somewhat differently from other quilts in that they are completely quilted before the fusible applique is applied. Grandma has found that it is MUCH easier to do intricate quilting if you don't have to worry about going around small applique pieces. Of course, this would only work on smallish wall hangings - probably not so much on larger ones or bed quilts.
