This turtle makes a beautiful pantograph quilting pattern, with the pond plants to connect the turtles as the design repeats. Turtle is at its best with the following set-up of the rows: even rows horizontally flipped, each row 25% offset to the right, and -1" vertical nesting for every 5.5" of row height (so if you are quilting the pattern at 11" tall, nesting would be -2" vertical spacing, etc).
