I pulled the pattern out of Block Base for reference and a visual and then did the alterations to it.
I use my drunkard path acrylic set. Cut two light concave and two light convex for the background. Four convex of a print for the shell, and two concave in green for the legs.
Make the head and tail, just cut two tail and head shapes and sew right sides together and turn, press.
Sew the head on to a green leg section and the tail to the other green section. Lay a print convex over each of these and sew around two sides, just to hold, now turn under 1/4 seam by the turtle head and sew down, same for the tail.
sew two print convex to two light background concave section.
Sew the parts together, enjoy.
