To boost the number of fund-raising mini-quilts to be at my guild's quilt show, a local fabric store has been handing out fabric and challenge themes. For this challenge the theme was "Almost Amish" and each person was given two solid colored "Amish" cotton fabrics. For my quilt, I added in a pale blue fabric and some fish batik that a friend had given me. The quilt pattern is the old "Trip Around the World" design. Naturally, I call my quilt "Trip Around the Ocean".
