Life is better with a quilt
Pattern: Cherrydale by Villa Rosa (digital version)
Finished Size: 62” x 71”
Cuts Used: 1 jelly roll and 2 yards of sea turtles (The pattern calls for 1 yard but I wanted to fussy cut the sea turtles so I needed an extra yard.) Also used 1/3 yard of a batik for the border.
Pantograph Used:Turtles from My Creative Stitches
Skill Level: Advanced Beginner thru Advanced
Design Tips: A fun pattern for focusing on a special print. Just keep in mind that if you are going to fussy cut a print, you will need to buy extra fabric.
Also used part of a jelly roll to make this Sophie Tote by June Tailor.

(I strongly recommend purchasing your sewing machine from a local store that offers repair services. However, if you don’t have a local store, you can buy it online at Amazon (https://amzn.to/4hujsjN) and other retailers.)
Note: I am a firm believer in supporting local business…especially quilt shops. There are so few left and more are closing all the time. I include these Amazon affiliate links so you can easily see what products I used and because not everyone has a quilt shop or fabric store close by. Even if you do, they may not carry everything you are looking for. In addition, these links help support my channel and website so I can continue to provide you with great content.
