If you go to search and put in Big Block Beauty at The Quilt Pattern Shoppe you can download the pattern. It looks pretty simple and might make good use of the penguin fabric.

I did a warm wishes for my grandson out of penguin fabric. It is posted on this board. It works and goes quickly.

I like the carpenters wheel pattern - is it super hard to do?

I think where I am having trouble is the color layout.
I don't know. I haven't tried it.

I'm wondering about the fabric, it doesn't look like cotton to me. More like fleece. That would make a difference for me to decide what pattern I would use, because of the stretch.

But it is beautiful.

Warm wishes is a good pattern to use. You can have a 6 or 7 inch square of your focus fabric.

It is flannel....someone else asked how big the penguins were - each one is only about 1.5 inches tall - I couldn't decide today so I ended up spending the day working on making a tube quilt!
