A great pattern for beginning quilters. All straight cutting, and straight seams. The instructions include fabric yardage, cutting instructions, triangle tips, sewing instructions, and basic finishing instruction.
The pattern first uses a chart with the given number of strips to be cut for each color. Second, it has a set of charts with piece lengths to be cut and labeled from those strips. Next you sew following a full page labeled picture of the quilt top, assembly the top row by row.
The shaping is done with quick corner triangles, or the “snowball method” where a sew line is drawn corner to corner on a square and place on top of another square or rectangle.
After all the interest in the penguin quilt, I thought I should make another winter pattern. This one is a little more boy friendly. He went together quick and turned out really cute.
The first Quilt I made with regular cotton fabrics, and then I tried making the bear stand out a little more by making his main body out of Minky fabric and the rest of the quilt top out of flannels. Though Minky is not my favorite thing to sew with the final result is awesome!
