The Turtle Island layout was designed by Judy and Bradley Niemeyer. It includes five sections referred to as Groups A, B, JA, C, and D, which are part of the Arctic Star Mixer Series.

The Group sizes are standardized and you can find interchangeable blocks available in Quiltster. After making this quilt, if you want to experiment and mix and match the pieces included here with those from other designs, Quiltster is the perfect tool for you to make a quilt completely your own.


This pattern is available in Quiltster! This means you can color the quilt with your favorite fabric collections in Quiltster before you make it. Quiltster will even provide you with yardage!  You can also purchase kits designed by Quiltster Sellers right in the application!
