Penguin Quilt - The Home Stretch
I've made so much progress these last few days. All the penguins and the 3 inch nine patches are done. Sashing and border pieces are all cut and ready to go. My penguin quilt is all laid out and waiting for the final approach!
I assembled the nine patches using strip piecing, and for some reason I was having a dickens of a time sewing the light blue fabric correctly. Every time I turned around I had a blue strip wrong side up! The first mistake I noticed early; everything was still strips. So I took out my trusty seam ripper, and removed a blue strip. Then I stepped back to look at what I had... and I still had a strip wrong side up! Oh no, I had taken off the wrong one!
But despite a few mishaps, it's coming together. I'm so excited.

I had to come see your penguins! I love what you've done with the 9-patch corners. Very creative, even if it drove you crazy.
ReplyDeleteAbout 5 years ago, someone sent me 4 penguin blocks from this pattern, a donation to American Hero Quilts, and I had such fun with them.
Love your 9 patch corners! It looks almost like lace set that way.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I love the nine patches, too. Looks like snowflakes! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat adorable penguins!
ReplyDeleteGreat penguins.
ReplyDeleteI'm so thrilled to see another penguin quilt! Our guild had a drunkard's path workshop this winter and I've been working at turning my drunkard's path blocks into penguins.
