Client Quilt - Pixelated Mermaid

This fantastic little quilt is another creation of @quiltoniquilts, and appears in the summer edition of Quick & Easy Quilts! Created from @northcottfabric's luscious suede-look Toscana fabrics, and there are two color options in the magazine.
This is @northcottfabric's gorgeous Insta post!
Here are the tools I used - colour matched Glide thread and a fun selection of rulers.
Wavy lines and swirls for the watery background.  SID for the flesh blocks.  A fancy feathery top.  The black blocks all received matchstick quilting in the 60-wt Glide.
Flowing red hair, with a purple ribbon.
Every mermaid needs a few friends ... this friendly crab is keeping her company.  Bubbles drift through the waves.
A sister mermaid is nearby in the stitching.  The mermaid body and tail has clamshell-created stitches to create the illusion of scales.
A nice little nautilus also joins the under-the-sea party.
A really fun finish for a little mermaid-admirer!
