The quilting is done, now I just have to put the binding on. I am going to be hanging it, so I will use the triangle corner pockets and a couple of bands on the back to hold the rod. I just sort of played around with the quilting--the setting corners are kind of seaweed with turtles and around the turtles I used nylon tread and echo quilting. I hope when I hang it the back doesn't show--it's warm pink with blue and blue dots with green circles in them--I won't show you.
The back isn't very flat, but that's OK because it's going to be against the wall. I'm not sure why it bunched, but I'll live with it.
This picture shows you one of the turtles echo quilted. The triangle at the bottom isn't quilted in this picture, but I used nylon thread and outlined a turtle, then echo quilted there too. I'll get a picture once it's hung.
Here is the turtle wallhaning on the wall. I decided I wasn't going to put it in my bedroom--this is in the walkway/hallway between the front of the house and our bedroom. The wall is a pale green. I am going to print out pictures from our Hawaii trip and put them around this--I think that will be fun. We're still putting away stuff from boxes and I found a bunch of Ikea glass frames (4x6) so I just need to print and put up and I won't have to find a storage place for the frames--yay!
This is the back of the quilt. I wasn't going to buy fabric, and this sits against the wall, so who will know what the fabric is. I have to say, I picked something that I wouldn't use in anything else. I hung the hanging by putting triangles in the corners and a tab in the center. That's a 3/8" oak dowel (I picked up the pine first, but they weren't straight and they weren't solid). I cut the dowel to length, then slipped it in through the tab and into the corner pockets, put two push pins in the wall (using a level of course) et voila!
