My friend is having twins in less than a week. She's having complications and they are taking them early. :(
So I'm making her a turtle quilt for each of them. She's having a boy and a girl. I have a fish batik for the background fabric and have a huge turtle shell appliqué and am going to do the two baby turtles swimming behind the big turtle. I know she loves turtles and I told her I'd be making the quilts for the babies...but my question is....before I add the head and feet..is it too much batik. The fabric I have picked out for the other body parts is a solid olive green. That was the closest I had to a turtle color.
I will be adding a solid or maybe a black border around the quilts to frame them and make the middle pop out more. I don't think I can throw anymore batiks in and make it look nice.

never heard of too much batik...looking forward to seeing them finished!

I love them both! The batik is perfect! I can't wait to see these finished :D:D:D

thanks...I just don't want the turtle to blend right in...lol.

they look good as is use the green for head,tails and feet.never tooo much batiks,silly

I really like them both! Can't wait to see them finished! Where did you find the fish fabric?? That is so pretty!

I love that fish fabric too. Very nice!

I bought it off my mom....couldn't pass it up, and glad I didn't, I think it would work great for this project.

I like them, I like them, I like them.

How cute!
