My brilliant plan of sharing Writer's Block on the blog in order to focus on it more has failed miserably. This week I've gotten distracted by efforts to get my Penguin Quilt pattern finished by the end of September. I'm debating whether I should leave the corners angled or if I should make the quilt square all the way around.
I'm also struggling to come up with a name for this pattern. I want something a little more unique than "Penguin Quilt" but the name still needs to attract attention (and hopefully sales.) The finished pattern will include directions for the 60" square throw and a table runner featuring two of the penguins. Currently I plan to publish this pattern with Craftsy, and I'm looking for other sites to publish with.
It's crazy that in the middle of a major heat wave there is still enough wind to keep me from hanging the quilt on the line. This shot doesn't really show off the quilt, but it makes the penguins look like they're flying! Too cute not to share.
So glad I caught your blog post today... LOVE that quilt top you made... the blunt corners give it a unique and trendy look... add the corners if you want a more traditional look... give the option for corners in the pattern though is my 2 cents :)
ReplyDeleteAs for name.... hmmm. Fishy Penguin race ???
Whatever you decide will be delightful. If you keep the blunt corners I would use binding of the blank diamonds to give them a finished look and 60 x 60 is a nice size to make :) Good luck on meeting your goal of having a pattern complete by the end of September! Kathi
Whatever will be your decision, one thing is certain: your quilt top is absolutely beautiful and original.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that the pattern will be successful!
oohh penguins are my favourite!! This is so cute! I would make it square with the background fabric in the corners. How about 'Tic Tac Penguin' since it looks a bit like a tic tac toe board?!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I love the fishies with them--maybe Penguin Pals?
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute, Kymberley! I would write the pattern with the cut off corners, but give an option for the finished corners (for those intimidated by unusual binding.) And I'd probably call it Penguins on Parade! Whoop whoop!!
ReplyDeleteI love Penguins on Parade and I love the options of the blunted corners as well as the square corners. I cannot wait for this pattern to come out! It is too cute!
ReplyDeleteThe penguins are so cute with the fishies! I vote angled corners just because it makes it a little different.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Very fresh, modern design!
