This pattern is fast & easy. My girlfriend & I were eating lunch and she asked me to make it for her daughter in college. Beyond trying to find that many materials it was one of the easiest I've ever made. I totally finished this quilt(from buying material -which took us to five stores- to binding & labeling) only two months. We made a twin size to fit her bed at the sorority house and I quilted some turtles in the outer border as that is their mascot! Enjoyed every second! Oh yes, found a pink & green flannel for the backing-Nice & cuddly!
