Turtle Pond
 

I made this for my 1 yr old grandson. I had no specific pattern in mind when I started. Just an "inspired as I went" kind of quilt. I wanted my quilting to give it plenty of movement as if the turtles were swimming. As you can see, the back is all the leftover fabric I refused to waste. (lol) Each of the four corners has parts of the poem I wrote and embroidered for the quilt.
1 Little turtle, 2 little turtle swimming in the pond
3 little turtle, 4 little turtle going round and round
5 little turtle, 6 little turtle swim the other way
7 little turtle, 8 little turtle love to swim and play

His reaction to it was absolutely priceless!!

Thank you for looking
Peggy
