Little Penguin Quilts Through the Year

Little Penguin Quilts Through the Year

Friday, March 13, 2020

This week in teal scraps...

was a bit lacking, because I was determined to finish a couple other projects that deserve their own post!

But here's how the design wall is looking as of Friday.

I've added a few teal HSTs to my zigzag.  I also got out the 10 inch color gradient blocks I started playing with last year because they need a teal/turquoise/aqua block.

Here's my effort on that one so far - 

I need to hunt around for a few more 2.5 inch squares and 
then play with the layout a bit more.

And Friday afternoon at the sewing machine... a few more HSTs, some 3.5 inch four-patches, and a Bright Hopes block with some turquoise - no stress sewing.


Look at this adorable tiny, turquoise bicycle!

Looking good! Teal is such a happy color. I have that "knit" fabric, as well.

Your design wall looks gorgeous. I'm still drooling on the zig zag quilt but the gradient squares sure are pretty too! So fun to spy sweet liitle peeks like the teal bike. A surprise for the eyes!

Your design wall is so inviting! Love all those great colors up on it - the blocks are really neat how they change in color value!

I like gradient and colorwash blocks but I've never tried any. Someday...
You make it look so easy!
