Turtle mug rug
 

There are lots of things wrong with this little quilt, but it amuses me, in part because of my late friend, Malvina Reynolds, who wrote a children's song: You Can't Make a Turtle Come Out.

It's adorable!

He's beautiful.

How cute is this! I always love new ideas for mug rugs!

what a cute and creative idea for a mug rug.

Just adorable!

This is adorable!

nicely done

I can't see anything wrong with the piece. Love it.

That turn out adorable!!!

Super cute!

It is adorable. You must have spent a lot of time piecing the shell of the turtle. What a nice remembrance of a friend.

Well, I love mug rugs and I love turtles, so what's not to like about this. I think it is adorable.

Wow! All that work (paper pieced, I'm sure) for a mug rug. It's a cute as can be.

Very cool mug rug! And so fitting for a remembrance of Malvina Reynolds. I've been a fan of her songs for years.

Aw, it is awesome. And, it is most unique!! I have never seen one with this pattern before. It's just a bonus that it keeps bringing you smiles. And happy thoughts of a friend who has passed on ahead of you. My condolences on the loss of your friend.

That's just precious! I love the title of the song...

You or someone will have fun using that adorable mug rug.

The pattern is my own, but easily created. I took a Mariner's Compass pattern in QuiltPro and stretched it. The piecing, however, was tricky because there were so many different shapes. I made a lot of mistakes and, therefore, had to substitute a different outer light green, since I was using mainly scraps.

Malvina is long gone, but not forgotten.

Your turtle is just so cute. And how did your husband come up with such a cute title for a song?! I'm guessing it is probably a very darling song at that...

Cute, cute mug rug!

Neat turtle!!

The only thing I see wrong with this little quilt is that it doesn't reside at my house. What a cute design you came up with. Nicely done!

Thanks, KLO. The song was written by Malvina Reynolds for her daughter in, I think, the 1950's.

That is absolutely adorable. I'm sure your friend would have loved it. My condolences for your loss of a dear friend.

Very cute!!!

Made me smile! So cute!!

How cute is that !

so cute! Your design is awesome!

Nice mug rugs.

So cute. I've been inspired to do one for my 4 yr old animal-loving granddaughter.

How novel.

kaylfordsollimo, there have been several excellent nap sized quilts posted lately that have animal shapes. including a turtle rag quilt. I forgot to note who did them, but someone will know.

Adorable and unique. Well done.

Very cute and great for a turtle lover!

He is just too cute!
