Assembling the "OHGWQ"

"OHGWQ" = 100 Good Wishes Quilt

Deciding on a pattern/layout was VERY hard! There are so many options for patterns & layout...& I only have 1 chance at it since all these fabrics are "onsies".

After much decision, I decided to use the "Turtle Xing" pattern from www.6Banyans.com. I was going to use the ladybug pattern, but I'm going to save that for all the ladybug fabric that I traded & make a separate quilt.

Since I'm limited on the # of turtle blocks I can have due to size limitations (otherwise it would be GINORMOUS!)...the turtles are reserved for fabric from family members. I needed to find a way to incorporate more than 1 fabric, so I divided Sam & Sue's turtle shell into 3 parts, Jon & Janet's into 2, combined Mom & Grandpa/Grandma because the pink matched... The remainder 130 blocks were cut to size (6.5") & will be used to fill in between the turtles & the border.




This turtle represents my husband. I picked out the fabric for him because he's a hot sauce fan. :)
