A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle For My Niece!
I promised my nieces and nephews a while back that I would make them a quilt by their next birthday. I started with a Tinkerbell quilt for one niece in March ( http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...e-t264736.html ), and a Zombie and Dino quilt for my twin nephews in April ( http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...e-t264734.html , http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...o-t264733.html ).
Now it's my niece, Astor's turn. She wanted a TMNT quilt. I found some free PP patterns online for the turtles to put in the cornerstone. I outlined the eyes in the masks with glow in the dark thread as an added treat for her. I also took a TMNT coloring page and used that as the quilting design in the border. Then, I paper-pieced a larger version of her favorite turtle, Mikey, and made her a quilted pillow to go with her new blankie.

I love everything you did on this quilt! My boys would have given anything for a quilt like that when they were young boys. The masks with the eyes in the middle of the quilt is very cool! I'm sure she loves it!!
