Aquarium Free Quilt Pattern by Wendy Sheppard
Aquarium is a 45-by-65-inch quilt by Wendy Sheppard featuring the Aquatic collection from Whistler Studios. Three rows of pieced fish blocks use different block sizes, with setting triangles arranging the fish on point. Bands of swimming-fish, sea-turtle and focal prints alternate with narrower tonal strips between those rows. The nineteen-row center is surrounded by a light gray tonal border, combining the larger printed fabric areas with fish shapes made from individual triangles.
