W.i.P. Wednesday: In for a penny, in for a pound

We had a rough start to the school year so sewing time has been limited lately.  These Out to Sea Penny Square blocks were a sanity saver!  They whip up quickly and it's fun putting together different color combinations.

I made enough to make my usual lap sized quilt but with a lot of encouragement from my peanut gallery I decided to go big and make a full-sized version for Audrey's room.  Think long and hard about skipping the twin beds and  putting your kids in full and queen sized;-)

They're outgrowing my design wall but it'll shrink once I start sewing everything together.  Only 4 more penny squares to make and I'll be ready to start laying them out and sewing them all together.  Can't wait!!!

  4. I agree, I love the mix of these patchworky pieces with the fussy cuts - and the fussy cuts are so fantastic, especially the sail boats. And now I am definitely going twin when the time comes!
