#2 - Fish are Jumping - long lines of quilting in yellows and oranges, about 1/4" apart, soaring and doubling back on themselves at various angles --
#3 - Dizzy Spider - quilting in orange thread, following the spirals and extending them to the other areas --
#4 - Goldfish Bowl - quilting consists of outlining and "colouring in" the fish in reds and oranges, then meandering blue "seaweed" in between. The central square was thrown together for a challenge on the UK Sewing list - my challenge was to get out my unused serger and do a few simple seams - after which the rest was put together conventionally --
#5 - still unnamed, still unquilted --
#6 - quilted in horizontal rows in blocks of various colours, but not yet cut to size (too much spiderweb, right?). During the long stretches of contemplative quilting time, no name emerged --
I'm having a break from these and getting on with some handstitching on a piece that needs to be finished soon.When I make more Barcodes, they'll be smaller! These are about a metre wide and though I love sitting at the machine for hours doing the quilting, that's not the best way to do lots of different experiments in the interaction of pieced fabric and the quilting.

How about "Jungle Road" for #5? #6 reminded me of a hut. I'd say jungle hut but with all those spider webs, maybe witch's hut would be better!
