Maria's "Hawaiian Dreams" Turtle Quilt

This is the quilt I made for Maria and was commissioned by her mother Delores for Christmas. I named it "Hawaiian Dreams". I completed the center while vacationing in Hawaii February 2011 in Kona. Our hotel had lots of turtles swimming in the tide pools. I have Storm at Sea blocks framing the center and Delectable Mountains for the borders. I have microquilted ocean waves around the center applique with turtles quilted in the setting brown triangles. I also have palm trees quilted in the brown Delectable Mountains around the border. It was the most complicated quilting I've attempted on the longarm.
