Inspired by a story I heard on NPR (?fictional), in which a young boy was giving his older brother a book titled "Hot Sex for Cold Fish" before his upcoming marriage...well, this was all I needed to make this wall quilt, having on hand, the Indonesian Batik panel (middle panel)...I crazy-pieced the other two panels, machine embroidered the seams, free-motion quilted the entire quilt and found fishing lures to stitch onto the top and bottom panels (in strategic position!!!)...and then remembered the "fish" I had purchased from a flea market dealer--made from ball jar lids, aluminum, and some kind of tin can (face), all mounted onto 2 old license plates!--to hang the quilt from.
