“Mother’s Return to Sea” by Patty McClearn
This is another pattern from Ron Appell in his Endangered Species series. It is raw-edge appliquéd and the quilting
is free motion. When Patty asked Ron why the turtle had red and orange on it, he explained that this quilt was
designed from a picture he took while swimming with sea turtles in Hawaii. The red and orange are actually algae
growing on the turtles.
