Merry Chris Moose
Merry Christmas to all my bloggy friends!
This quilt started with a panel to which I added random colored nine patch blocks and strip borders. All the fabrics except one of the reds and one of the browns came from a 2.5" roll of fabrics from the same line as the panel so I can't take credit for the lovely color combinations at all.
The top and back were pieced a year ago, and just for fun I threw it on Terpsichore and we danced it done in no time just a few days ago.
Binding was just all the scraps.
Most fun part? Writing "moose moose moose" all along the inner border, which you can see well in person but not so well in these pictures. here's a shot of a section of the back where the words are visible.

Chilly Quilted Penguin
Chilly Quilted Penguin would be an excellent name for a rock band or eclectic coffee shop.
A friend told me the nursery was going to be done in penguins, which I just adore, so I had to make a penguin quilt for her baby.
I scanned the net for patterns and ideas, and from THIS quilt (Diana McClun and Laura Nownes) sketched up a pattern in EQ8. My penguins don't look that much like their penguins, but their quilt is where my inspiration came from.
I made the beaks and feet from prairie points and left them floppy so there would be something to tug on. The feet got some extra stitching to denote toes.
Quilting the quilt was fun and quick. Asian wind/water for the sky, a large triangle meander for the ice, swirls for the belly feathers, and a heart for joy.
Magnifico thread in white for the shiny snowy appeal.
And to wrap it all up, a cute penguin print from about a decade ago.
