counting turtles (instead of sheep)

 

Finishing the quilt for my son's bed was a big accomplishment because his feet have been sticking out the bottom of his blanket for some time now.  He now has a twin-size bedspread complete with matching sheets.  As I stated in an earlier post, I used a flat sheet for the back of the quilt, as well as some piecing on the front to coordinate.  When my younger son gets old enough to move from his crib, they will be sharing a room.  So I recently bought fabric to make him the same size and pattern quilt for that transition. 

 

This is a close-up picture to show the fabric and details of the quilting. 

 

I had to post this picture to show how little thread was left - I barely finished!
