Big Fish in a Little Pond by Marva Swanson

You may have seen this quilt before, but since it is one of my all time favorite quilts, I decided it was okay to show it again. The name of this quilt says it all — Big Fish in a Little Pond by Marva Swanson. It was featured in the March 8, 2009 edition of the Start Your Week With a Quilt newsletter.

Marva made this quilt for the proverbial challenge issued by the Sewjourners Quilt Guild in 2007. The challenge was to make a quilt that represented an old proverb or wise saying. 

That fish looks awfully important floating around in that small pond doesn’t she? I know some people like that.
