I made this quilt for my daughter and husband. They love koi fish and when I was visiting them, they took me to a park in San Francisco where I was able to take some pictures of koi swimming in a pond. The fish were printed from my photos on white linen. I added some fabrics and then painted them with fabric paints and appliqued them onto the background "water" fabric. I decided to enhanced them with thread. I added the large waves and borders. It was quite the project and I was pleased with the result...and they loved it!
