    The quilting design in this piece is fantastic! Every stitch belongs just where it is. There is a natural movement and flow that is just perfect. The effect is both playful and elegant. Way to go, Lori!

    Beautiful! Perhaps one of your blogs could be an explanation of the process. Do you have to work from the inside out when doing a design like this? Could you do the turtles and outside border then fill in?

      I can do a post that explains more I do stitch all the turtles first then fill in. I stitch the border last.

    Next – snails and other aquatic shelled creatures for an underwater wonderworld? Maybe you have already done some of those … I’m pretty new to your blog so haven’t explored your catalogue. What I’ve seen is simply mind-blowing … would have never guessed such realistic forms could be accomplished with FMQ. Thank you for showing us all such wonderful possibilities.

    I like how you made every turtle different from the others. And the babies are so cute!
