I absolutely love this shark fabric from Dear Stella. When it arrived it told me it wanted grey and red fabrics to be used with it. I found this hand-dyed grey fabric at the LQS. It was perfect because of all of the color variation. The red is from French General. The first "fins" I made had a thicker red stripe and they looked like a sports logo! So I resewed and recut to get these fins. I used my 4 1/2 inch equilateral triangle die from Accuquilt. I trimmed down the triangles to square off and added 2.5 inch borders. The binding is a faux flange. I used 1.75 inches of the red and 1.5 inches of the grey.
