I followed Ruthie’s Instagram posts as she made this incredible quilt called Pickled Fish.  I was beyond excited when she told me I would be quilting it!  My mom came over while I was quilting it and she was so in love with it, she said “Wow!  I love the fabric and the pattern, I would make that quilt!”  I said “mom, it’s paper pieced and quite a challenge.”  And she said “oh, nevermind!”  My mom is a perfect piecer and could totally do this but paper piecing isn’t something I see her really wanting to take on, not with all the other amazing artistic things she does.  The quilting design is called Swan Song.  I had this design in mind for this quilt for a while, it’s perfect for this quilt!
