Red Fish /Duck and Ducklings Block

 The  first iteration of this block came to my attention under the name red fish, after a bit of searching I also found some alternate variations under the block name of duck and ducklings.  Choose the video from Brenda or the written instructions from Generations quilt patterns.  Brenda's is a set size but you can see how it is sewn, the Generations one comes in three sizes 5, 7 1/2  and 10 inches.  Both of these use an uneven 5x5 grid for the construction; for a variation that uses the even grid (and for more colour variations) go to this post here.

 It is by a lovely lady to whom I subscribe on YouTube Brenda @ Conquering Mount Scrapmore who talks to groups for free and offers several FREE blocks each and every week (which I think are her own designs...) along with some sew alongs in the past.  The video description contains all the cutting instructions.  She definitely deserves more subscribers than she has!

This block is based upon an uneven 5x5 grid - for other 5x5 blocks click here
