Hello from the Little Penguin house!
I have a scrappy placemat in pink to share today! I started this month with dumping out the scraps from the pink bin and this was the photo.
There was even an already made block!
So, as I do each month, I just kept sewing and trimming and adding more until I had some crumb slabs that would make the right size for a placemat.
There were even a few leftover quarter star blocks in pink!
Once I had my desired 12.5 x 16.5 size, I layered it up and quilted with a square spiral. That was fun! Nothing marked, just chose a spot to begin with a tiny square, and then kept going round and round.
Remember the dots I used to bind the red placemat last month? Well, there are more of them, and these on pink looked like a good choice for this month's finish.
Voila!

I spy a penguin, of course! Your colourful collection is growing. Gail at the cozy quilter
The little waving penguin! So cute, one of my favorites of your placemats. I like the red binding with the pink.
What a cute addition to your placemat stash this month. Love that little penguin;))) Nice work using orphans too hugs, Julierose
That's a great way to use up the bits left over, and fulfill the RSC at the same time.
What a fun placemat! I also spy some penguins!
What a fun placemat design. My pink bin isn't as full as blue but hasn't gotten any less full either unfortunately. LOL
I am in love with your “crumby” placemats! I think I need to start a set for gifts.
Great placemat in pinks, Diann. Your collection is looking wonderful!
What a lovely PINK placemat, Diann!! That's one of the prettiest ones I've seen. Love that it looks vaguely like a gift wrapped box!
that is cute trying to get the little penguins in there.
That is one cute penguin! Your rainbow is looking fantastic!
What a cute placemat, and the square spiral quilting is perfect!

Aaaw this looks amazing, Diann. I love the layout of the this month's pink placemat . You used such pretty fabrics. The penguins made me smile. Great job. Hugs.

Love the penguins! Great use of your scraps, Diann.
Love the penguin in the middle, very cute. You have a very fun set of placemats going.
They are fun, and so beautiful.
Well done, Diann. The fussy cut penguins are adorable.
This is the best placemat! I keep seeing your quarter star units as I peruse patterns...are they calling to me?
Such a cute pink placemat with those orphans included. And penguins! Also, I got on my fav used book site & got the next two Veronica books since they aren't on audio at my library. So soon I'll be reading more penguins!
