I have done small lap size ones but this is only my second full bed size one. The first full was quite a learning experience and the penguin one went a lot better.

Caution - when using the Quilting Essentials there are a couple border options that I feel are not crystal clear in the tutorial. The tutorial shows 2 pages of each design. The left page are the main block options. Most of the right page are the border options. If you look very closely you will see that the border blocks are slightly different than the main body blocks. Long story made short ... I wanted the mitered corner border blocks so ended up with mitered corners that had quilting slightly different than the rest of the border. I called AGD and was told that was because they wanted the borders to be different than the rest to stand out. They told me my option was to use the rectangle from the main designs (which I had done) then complete the corner with a small square from the main designs. As I had already done the mitered corners that is what I used.

Welcome to you too!

Thank you. I wanted each penguin block on it's own not touching any other so that arrangement is what I came up with.
