- a Table Scraps project! I got started on this project when I was digging around in my crumb box and pulled out both dark and light green blocks that I had made sometime while working with green scraps. Since this month's challenge is to incorporate trees into your project, but any choice of color, I decided to make flying geese blocks out of the crumbs.
Look - penguins!
After making the trees, I had to laugh when I saw that the penguins ended up upside down!
So this turned into the Wonky Woods! I added some checkerboard blocks in green and strips of a star print to the trees to get the size I wanted, about 12.5 x 16.5.
It was fun to play a little bit with the quilting in the trees. I can do some gentle curves from point to point without too much trouble!
And here is where this latest Table Scraps Challenge fits perfectly!
Thanks, as always, to Joy at the Joyful Quilter for the fun monthly challenges!

Welch ein schönes Tischset. Toll, wie du die Pinguine doch noch zum stehen gebracht hast. Ganz wunderbar.

Great, it's so nice that you put the trees in opposite directions so that the penguins stand on their feet again... thank you for showing us from the beginning. I'm new to patching and quilting...it's so much fun...I'm currently sewing my first binding on my first quilt.
ReplyDeleteMany greetings to you and a thank you from Viola
Glad to see the penguins are no longer upside down! Gail at the cozy quilter
