Hi, I've made that turtle a few times and what you need to watch for is the right side up of each piece since there are opposites for every part. For ex. the right front "foot" and left front foot on the right side are the reverse. The backing is done the same way, one right side up and one opposite otherwise you'll have the wrong side of the fabric on one piece. Not explaining this very well but if you lay it out on the floor (most tables are too small), you'll get it right. Good luck it's been one of my family's favorite cuddly floor quilts.
