______________________________________________
For our purposes a UFO is an "unfinished object." Last year, I participated in a quilt "row along." The theme was "Seaside Adventure." I designed and sewed a quilt row titled "Turtle Trek". I always intended to make a second version of the row in the form of a wool felt wall hanging. I'd already cut out the applique pieces but hadn't gone further than that. This hop gave me the perfect impetus to finish that project!
Here's the original quilt row.
Here's the link to the original row along. If you're interested in the free row pattern, you can find it there.
And here is my finished wool felt wall hanging (laying on a table; not yet hanging on a wall!)
I joined the "blocks" together with penny stacks. The pennies measure 2" and 1".

ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth! What a great finish. I've always wanted to watch the baby turtles hatch and scramble for the water. I have a friend who is nuts about turtles. She would LOVE this finish. Nice job! {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne

ReplyDeleteI remember your turtle row from last year, and I love what you have done with your design in the wool felt. Fun idea to use the pennies to join it.
