And, then, for the back of the quilt, I made a few more of Lorna's friends, from the Elephant Parade Quilt Along (here)... the turtle, frog and bird ! (Aren't they sweet?!)

I made the quilt sandwich, and quilted wavy lines horizontally across the quilt, using my walking foot. The quilting thread is Aurifil #4655, which has a blue and white varigation. I hope this gives the feeling that the fish are swimming in water.
The horizontal rows were marked by pinning on both sides of my 1.5" - wide ruler. I just had to keep the quilting inside of these pinned lines.

I used a pretty blue Tic Tac fabric for the binding-

Here is the finished back of the quilt... featuring these cute characters!! ( I am just going to have to make an Elephant Parade quilt some day!!)
The Kissy Fishy quilt is a perfect size for a children's quilt. (I'll be saving this quilt for any grandchildren that may come down the road....)
I think it's a splashing success!
