Isn't that just precious? I love that!
Anyway she wanted the turtles to appear to be swimming...and seaweed in the border. I hope i accomplished that...I hope you can see in the pictures that the turtles are actually 3-D. This is such an adorable quilt...and what a great souvenir.
I quilted this freehand on my INNOVA. I used hobbs poly down batting.
Thanks for looking.
