I love the turtle pattern from the other thread and decided to do a tut on it.

I pulled the pattern out of Block Base for reference and a visual and then did the alterations to it.

I use my drunkard path acrylic set. Cut two light concave and two light convex for the background. Four convex of a print for the shell, and two concave in green for the legs.

Make the head and tail, just cut two tail and head shapes and sew right sides together and turn, press.

Sew the head on to a green leg section and the tail to the other green section. Lay a print convex over each of these and sew around two sides, just to hold, now turn under 1/4 seam by the turtle head and sew down, same for the tail.

sew two print convex to two light background concave section.

Sew the parts together, enjoy.

cool

How neat is that ! Thank you for sharing :thumbup:

What a great new pattern!! It is amazing what one can do when we get creative!! I will have to bookmark this!

Thanks Rosie, such a cute pattern & now I can make one too.

Oh good, I will use this block in a baby quilt I am making but will find much more exciting and colorful fabric for it.

This block finishes at 8 1/4, so it's a perfect 8 inch block.

You can control the size by making your own templates. Just take a square, 1/4 of the size of the block you are making, use a compass to draw the convex, cut apart and add the 1/4 inch seams.

I like that one. Thanks for the tute.

I love it! :thumbup:

That is cute for sure

Fantastic. Love turtles. :thumbup: :thumbup:
