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.

More sharks
I feel the need for more sharks, and since Chocolatier is finished, I get to play.
This is just getting started. It will be all in triangles to suggest shark's teeth. The red is too thick in this sample so I'm going to try again. I'm using an accuquilt equilateral triangle die for cutting but I may need to use a ruler for the red/Grey triangles.
