"Fishing with Nikki" by Bridget473

Does this ever happen to you? You are strolling through a favorite quilt shop petting all of the new and beautiful fabrics when you are stopped in your tracks by a new quilt pattern. The pattern just screams to be made. Never mind that you have countless UFO's stashed away in your workroom. This pattern will make the perfect gift for...(you fill in the blank).

We recently offered a "work along with us" quilt project on TQS called "Fishing with Pop Pop". The original pattern is from an out of print book by Alex Anderson. Alex's design commemorated her son Joey's catch on a fishing trip with his grandfather. Information and directions for the quilt are available here.

We encourage all those who participated to let us see their version. Bridget473 found this project to be the perfect gift for her father's upcoming birthday. She added the dog Nikki, who was until his recent death, a faithful and loyal fishing companion.
