I researched that cod a bit and found that he is no longer on the state house but, I believe, is now inside. No matter where he is, he looks great! It's fun to get the history of a fish weathervane.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-16682339655123341302018-07-29T00:01:01.134-04:002018-07-29T00:01:01.134-04:00Thank you, Gypsy Quilter.

But I can understand preferring reading to fishing, especially as an adult.<br /><br />I like the little flip of the tail of the first fish, Susan. It seemed to give some movement, but I realized soon enough that it didn't fit into a primitive quilt. I agree that the middle one looks closer to the one if the quilt. In the end, I used that fish (more or less) with a few changes. I think it works and have already started stitching it down. (It better work!)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the fish. I appreciate them.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-73382003268295927092018-07-24T01:53:41.475-04:002018-07-24T01:53:41.475-04:00They were happy times, weren't they, Gayle.

It's great to know another person who fished when she was a girl.<br /><br />I have more than one rejected fish (poor fellows) and I was thinking the same thing, that they could go into another quilt.

You're doing a fantastic job. As to your question about fishing, I used to go with my husband but he insists on fishing from sun up to sun down and doesn't even want to jump into the water to take a cool-off break.

Meanwhile, it seems you have learned lots in the pursuit of the perfect fish and I have learned too that you can download in this way from the internet. I really like the fish you have pieced. <br />My Newfoundland fraternal grandfather was a fisherman as his livelihood...fishing of all kinds is very popular in my family and also here in Ontario.
