Coastal Seahorses Appliqued Wall Hanging
The other day I showed a little sneak peek at this wall hanging that I made for my April Island Batik Ambassador project and today you’ll see the entire pattern.
I pulled out my beautiful Island Batik Coastal Mist 2 ½” strips and some yardage and started creating a wall hanging.
The colors were perfect for this creation of seahorses in the sea.
I used some of the Coastal Mist batik strips for the seahorses. I have enough fabric left to make many more seahorses or…..maybe some other sea creatures.
I traced the seahorses on to Heat n Bond Lite and then applied it to the back of my fabric at an angle.
The piecing of the wall hanging was completed before I added the applique pieces.
I decided to do a free motion applique using a color of Aurifil thread that matched my background fabric and just caught the edge of the applique design while I quilted the background.
Here is a closeup of the quilting. Instead of adding a tiny applique black pupil in the eyes, I used a Micron permanent marker.

I have written a pattern for the Coastal Seahorses appliqued wall hanging and it includes full size templates for the applique seahorses and complete directions for the wall hanging.
