Turtle mini quilt

<edit> I wrote a blogpost about this quilt where I tell about how I made this and a bit more background information Check it out if you like: Portrait of a turtle mini quilt

I was going through my old files and then I found this mini-quilt I once made as a birthday present for a very cool turtle. This is a portrait of his big love Lilly  .  The quilt is about30 by 20 centimeters (8 by 12 inches).

The name of the turtle is Stoffel, so that's what I quilted in the border. The fabric in the background is one my mother dyed herself and is meant to resemble the sea and beach, because Lilly is a sea turtle. 

The pattern is not my own, I used a finding nemo pattern and added eyelashes.
