Your Penguins are super adorable - made me laugh! I agree - go with a more summery theme like Foxflower said.

I agree, but I absolutely LOVE your boy penguins in bathing suits. I think they need have some girl friends?

How about some snowflakes on a light blue background in either the darker blue color, like the skis/snowboards or even red snowflakes.

I love your summer penguins! I agree with a summer match it would be awesome!

Cute penguins! :)

I'd alternate the penquins with solid black and EVERY ONE of the shorts fabrics - or any one of the shorts fabrics that you have enough of. What a happy, happy quilt! Think the striped fabric would be fabulous.

Maybe a tropical print would be a better fit? Love the penguins by the way!

How about pieced penguins. Here is a penguin I found on the web a few years ago. It's easy to piece because it's just a modified 9 patch. [ATTACH=CONFIG]442290[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]442289[/ATTACH]

I would try sashing first to see if you like that. The summer penguins are adorable!
