I think it brings more life to your already beautiful quilt top!
|
It's wonderful! Go for it.

I think you need to keep the turtles - they give the quilt a lot of spark. I love it!

We have a vacation home on Anna Maria Island in FL. Someday, we will be snowbirds. This quilt depicts that beach perfectly! Sand to aqua water that gets darker as it gets deeper. And turtle preservation is a huge deal there. We were able to see a nest hatch and make their way to the Gulf. This quilt reminds me of that night.

It’s a beautiful quilt no matter what you decide. The turtles add a bit of balance although I think I agree with Zozee that 3 might be enough.

I would check to see how they will fuse. I might make a sample turtle to fuse first over a sample seam background to see if you get the lines and shiny spots from the iron. You might want to trapunto the turtles with a light batt under then and needle turn and stitch them on.

I think the turtles look nice but I am too practical. When I spend a lot of time ona quilt, I want something not trendy- and also something I would not get tired of over time. Personally, I think your quilt is fine without them.

Love the turtles on Maui - agree with Zozee that 3 might be a more pleasing arrangement and perhaps just having the mother turtle barely into or already into the water with the two babies heading that way? Breaks it up but still tells the story? JMHO. By the way - I am certain it will be fabulous however you choose to finish it up!

Those turtles want to be on your quilt!!! :)

I like it just the way it is with the four turtles. Actually, to me, there is one turtle and then 3 smaller turtles. As has been said about design......things look better with an odd number.........and I agree. Hence my comment about 1 and then three.
PS: I really like that quilt design. Jim |
