    Here are some pics of one of my favorite quilts. I found a southwest turtle design in one of my books, I used the shape of the turtle and designed different shell patterns for each. I had little bits of scrap fabric flung everywhere!

    What a pretty quilt! I love the way you did the turtle backs. Very clever and unique.
