This quilt is a memory quilt commemorating a vacation on Hilton Head Island. We happened to be there during turtle mating season, and we were sternly warned not to turn on the lights of our balcony after sunset. Turtles are a big thing on Hilton Head.
The colors of the quilt capture the sand and sea of Hilton Head Island. The batik print is a turtle print but once I cut it up the turtles disappeared. There is a turtle print on the back however.
“Sea Turtle Love on Hilton Head Island” is machine pieced and quilted. The quilting tried to depict turtles but it is hard to make them out.
