This year I am participating in the Ovarian Cancer Fundraiser Quilt coordinated by the awesome Australian based Kate @ talltalesfromchiconia. I am contributing two blocks to the quilt and I thought I would share those blocks with you.
This year's theme is the sea and I signed up for the "deep sea" section of quilt blocks.
I researched deep sea creatures found in Australian waters and decided to make a block inspired by the Deep-Sea Bullseye Scallop and a block inspired by the Dumbo Octopus. Then I pulled out my box of batik fabric scraps and sorted out my teal and blue scraps.
In the images below you will see the original photo that inspired me (photo source hyperlinked) and then the block I created based (loosely) on that photo. Note: my smartphone camera photographed some of the true teal as blues and so there is a lot more teal in the blocks than it appears in the images.

The blocks are on their way to Australia now - crossing my fingers my fabric deep sea creatures arrive safely!
