Default Great idea doesn't work penguins in bathing suits

I got a great Amy Bradley pattern and thought I would pair the penguins in bathing suits with the winter penguin print fabric. ICK I will try a mock up with sashing just in case it works but...I am thinking some appliqued snowflakes on alternating blocks might work better. Got to find some appliqued snowflakes and give that a try.

Great penguin appliques! How about some surfboard fabric to go with them instead? Then pair up the winter penguin fabric with the snowflakes....

What an adorable penquin. Want to adopt a 73 year old gg-ma to give that too? (Laughing at my silly self) I love this posting. Made me smile, and need smiles today

In the sashing you could put "Seasons Change" ... I love the combo because of the humor

I think its the theme difference that is throwing it off. I'd go with something summer (flip flops, surfboards, sunglasses, etc) with those adorable penguins! I agree applique snowflakes sound good with the winter penguin print.
