It all started with this cute "Finding Nemo" fabric. I came up with the fishbowl design to applique. The background was a yellow or green with bright polka dots so I found this wavy multi-color fabric that was perfect for the border. If I had been more experienced I would have tried to miter the corners.

While we were in Bishop, CA on a trip, I came across this fun wavy/polka dot fabric that was perfect for a backing.
The quilting was done free motion and is supposed to resemble choppy waves. The binding is a solid teal.
I had a great-nephew in mind when I started this quilt, but by the time I dug it out last year and finished it, he was passing his Mamma in height. Since I waited so many years to finish this, it will be included as a Josh's Hugs quilt.
What a great idea on how to use the fabric! it is perfect! yes, they grow so fast, we have to quilt faster! LOL
