The marching turtles all are made of minky or fleece for some added texture.
Usually I handsew the binding on the back but this time I didn't feel like it, so I machine-sewed. Unfortunately, I did it fairly poorly! I will probably take a seam ripper to it and redo it all. Boo! Should have done it right the first time!
The quilting is all stitch-in-the-ditch or 1/8" from each seam. Fairly simple and easy. This was the first quilt that I used spray adhesive instead of safety pins. I will never go back! Spray adhesive is totally the way to go.
And one shot of the birthday boy. He loved his pizza and fruit, two of his favorite foods.
It's so cute! I love it! You did such a good job. I was also wondering how it would turn out with the original pieces, but it came out beautiful.
