I agree with Jennifer.  Why not incorporate turtles into a baby gift quilt?  She might look for some fabric printed with turtles.  (Does anyone know where there is any?)  Or she could design or find a pattern of turtles to applique on quilt blocks. 

I often made quilted blankets for baby gifts and for sale.  They consisted of a single piece of printed fabric for the top and another for the back.  In between was batting.  I could tie or quilt the coverlet.

In this case, find a piece of fabric with turtle motif and use it for the top. You can use either the solid piece or cut it into patches and alternate with coordinating solid color patches.

  This is only one idea for a turtle design that could be stylized and appliqued to a quilt patch or in the center of a quilt.

Turtle Quilts Inspired by Turtle Blog

When I read Jennifer’s post, 32 Little Green Babies,  at Tree Hugging Family,  a new b5media blog, I thought I simply must share it.  Then I shared, in the comments section, about my family rescuing baby ducklings.  (That might make a duckling inspired wall hanging!)

                                    ENJOY!
