My aunt from Tucson visited us recently and brought me a fat quarter with a turtle design that I loved. On a visit to a quilt shop we found a bolt of the same fabric. I bought a yard and another fabric that went with it plus fabric for sashing, still not sure what exactly I would be doing with the fabrics.
The next day we went to another quilt shop and I found the perfect border material and some fabric for setting squares.
When we came home we started thinking about what design we could use. We decided I should pick a pattern that would show off the fabric. I started going through my books and found one I thought would work. Then I had my son scan the fabrics into my EQ6 program and started designing the quilt. Once I had it designed we decided we did not like the setting squares and we went with smaller borders inside the bigger one. Here is the final design:
Here are the fabrics:
9 inch squares will be in these two patterns:
The sashing will be in the dark green:
The smaller borders will be in the dark green and the following two fabrics:
The outside border will be this fabric:
