TMNT Paper Pieced Baby Quilt


My cousin and I dreamed of this baby quilt forever for a third cousin of ours, and when it was announced that he and his wife were having a little one, we knew we had to make it happen!
We split the turtles in half, I made the blue & purple and she made the red & orange as well as the coordinating weapons. She managed to get them mailed to me in time to create the top, quilt and bind it all before we saw each other on the following Friday for our Grandma’s funeral. While it was a sad occasion, at least we got to celebrate the little one with a quilt, right?
I also threw together the pizza label with a little bit of wonder under, kona cottons and late night basic embroidery skills :slight_smile:
Quilting was all done with a walking foot on my Janome
patterns for the blocks (minus the center) came from fandom in stitches

thank you!
i definitely went through about 5 different ideas for quilting, and then when i started went “whelp… i’m committing to this now!”

thanks!
We’ve done a few “spring break” sew togethers in person, but this was definitely a combo project of it’s own kind.

This is amazing! My husband would love this so much for our baby. I love the teamwork behind it, too.

I have to pick my jaw up off the floor! Paper piecing is so much work. This is so cool. I am floored!
