2017 DWM Week 2: Maui Turtles

I’m still having a hard time focusing on the million ongoing projects in my sewing room so instead avoided them all together and worked on this little wall hanging.  This was a pattern and kit I picked up when we were in Maui last March.  I kind of forgot about it until cleaning my sewing room before Thanksgiving. 

The turtles are fused to the background and the borders are sewn.  Now it’s time to layer up batting and backing, then stitch through all the layers to anchor the applique and quilt it at the same time. It was such a quick and easy project, I made two—one to keep and one to gift!  Since I primarily make larger quilts, this was a great distraction.

Turtles

The pattern is Riding the Wave by Castilleja Cottons.  Patterns and kits are available at Maui Quilt Shop here.

Linking up with Judy at Patchwork Times.  Take a look at all the other design wall projects for some quilty inspiration!
