Turtles & Tidepools - #5 September

I decided to do the Turtles & Tidepools pattern using the X Blocks ruler.  I had seen the pattern and the X Blocks book at Trackside Quilting in Laurel, MT but hadn't decided what fabric to use to make the Turtles & Tidepools.  When I saw the brown bag fabric I received from the day guild exchange, I knew this was the fabric that would be perfect for Turtles & Tidepools.


This quilt visited Trackside Quilting as a display quilt for about a month before it was presented at the December day guild meeting.  It was meant to help sell both patterns and X Blocks rulers but I do not think any additional sales were achieved.



One thing I learned from this quilt is to make sure to use a high contrasting floss to embroider the label if I opt to embroider a label for another quilt.  The embroidery floss I used blended in to the backing fabric so much I could not see it very well.  I could not see it at all in the picture that I took so I am not going to even bother to post a picture of the label.
