This was my first attempt at making my own pattern. I saw something similar hanging on the wall in the Cracker Barrel gift shop.So I went home and tried to make one. This was before I knew how to add a seam allowance. LOL.

You can see the puckers in this one. I sewed it like a pillow. I think I will stitch the areas and then stuff it a little to make a big turtle pillow for Andrew to play on the floor with.
