I had intended to keep this quilt any way. I used some fabric I picked up years ago on Maui and I was so pleased to have finally found a use for. The purple throughout the quilt makes it a perfect touch for the lavender leather chair in our bedroom.
I learned a lot with this quilt. It piecing it definitely challenged me. (See earlier post.) In the end, I am glad I persisted. I am particularly pleased with how the quilting of the center portion turned out. It does look like the turtles are swimming in a current, doesn't it! I intend to use the effect in some other designs flowing through my mind (a solitary whale jumping, a zen rock garden effect).

The nice thing is that, given where I am placing it, it will be one of the first things I see every morning when I am home and it will make me start the day with a smile.
