Turtles for Charity

When my friend Vicki told me I should cut out a practice turtle before I started my Hawaiian Appliqué Bed Quilt, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to make something for Project Linus.  Did you know Project Linus is participating in Disney's Give a Day Get a Day Program?  Well they are, and while Jessica is considered to young to participate, I thought I'd make a quilt to send anyway.

These turtles are machine appliqué, my first attempts at using Wonder Under. I love how beautifully these blocks are coming together. I have enough of these fabrics to make a total of three, so I'll be adding something different to make the quilt about 45"x60".

After doing plenty of research I found that I could try this as a quilt as you go. I did that once with the Bargello, and really didn't like the process. The batting kept scratching at my arms, but this is a fully layered block before you start, so I figured I'd give it a go. The left is the back and the right is the top.
