It's such a cute pattern. Here is a link:

Love the pattern, and your choice of batiks is just perfect.

I must admit, that is not my original idea. Charismah posted one that she quilted for someone a year or so ago that had the baby turtles on it. The little ones are from the wallhanging pattern included in the quilt pattern. I hope to quilt mine similar to what Charismah did, but of course it will be not even close to her level of gorgeous quilting!

I'm afraid Nana is seriously behind in the quilt making process. My other grandkids have several quilts each. The youngest only has one, and she's over a year old. This working full time for a living does me in...I'd rather be home quilting!
