I had enough of these aqua, turquoise, teal, and sea foam colored charm squares to make 2 baby quilts.
So many memories tied to each of these "scrap" charm squares!
The IKEA penguin duvet cover was in the children's department. It is twin size and gave me enough fabric to back 4 baby quilts total, with some piecing.

I split the charms squares equally between the two quilts, so they look pretty similiar.

The aquas, teals, turquoises - all my favorites. If Diann from Little Penguin Quilts sees the backing she will want it!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Linda about Diann, I thought of her immediately when I saw the backing! No matter the color theme you are using these 99 charms are just charming!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun backing and yes, I too thought of Diann! These 99 charm baby quilts are sparkling gems! Congratulations on having two more finished!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and the penguins on the backs are perfect. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful array of aquas you have! The penguins are darling.
ReplyDelete....and with a duvet cover you've got a LOT of penguins!
ReplyDeleteI love your 99 Charms quilts.
ReplyDeleteThose are so pretty in the aquas, Nancy! But, oh my goodness, look at the penguins on the backing. Love them! Your other commenters noticed, too, lol! I might have to take a trip to Ikea!
ReplyDeleteThe teal quilts are just gorgeous and boy is that penguin back just perfect! Love the fun quilting designs you choose, too. Congrats on a few more finishes for RSC!
ReplyDeleteI love aqua and really like the penguins on the back
ReplyDeleteVery nice quilts and those penguins are adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou are right, the beachy colors are so calming. Fresh and cool, just what we need in this heat wave!
ReplyDeleteThese are precious, Nancy . And how clever to use fabric from a duvet cover for the backing! The penguins are as sweet as honey. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteSuch happy quilts and I love your backing fabric! Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeleteSome colours just manage to look good all on their own and these aqua/turquoise combinations are perfect. They are gorgeous 99 quilts.
ReplyDeleteThe penguin backing is gorgeous.
Loving these ones a lot!
So cute!!! These are my favs so far, and I am not usually an aqua girl.
ReplyDeleteSeriously!! You have to be one of the most Quick Quilters EVer!!! These are great - but look!! you have two amazing finishes and I just found my box of scraps haha!! Go you
ReplyDeleteYou find the BEST duvet covers to use as backing. You know I love your pantographs. My Bernina came with a 12 month subscription to OESD's Spree club. Don't they have amazing designs. As always you have a great eye for matching pantographs to quilt tops.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful set of quilts. I am so in awe of how many 5" squares you have so that you can whip together these little beauties! Isn't it great finding ways to use that stash?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.you have a great eyeforfabric usage.. Just perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, LOVE these two AQUA quilts for the RSC, Nancy!!
ReplyDeleteTwo more gorgeous 99 charms quilts. And that penguin backing, so lovely. Its interesting to see your tally grow each month. I know I've got charm squares tucked away somewhere, but where exactly, I wonder?
ReplyDeleteSo many bloggers I follow participate in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. While I can't do so without buying more fabric (which I refuse to do), I sure can enjoy each month's color. Teal is a favorite, and yours turned out great. I admire that you didn't use ONLY teal in your quilts, but rather chose some other multi-color prints to coordinate with teal. That gives each quilt so much more interest. Contrast is key. Beautifully done, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with your quilts, Nancy! Such pretty colors, and beautiful quilting too.
ReplyDeleteEvery time you show an IKEA duvet cover I'm ready to hop in the car and go find my own. Except, I need to use some of the backings I currently have before I add any more. I've bought several wide backs recently. Love those penguins. They are perfect with your baby quilts.
ReplyDeleteBoth quilts turned out beautifully! That penguin backing is too cute. Congrats on all the scrappy quilting this year.
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, those are such cute quilts and I love that first pantograph. Getting an IKEA duvet dover is a great idea, and some of them are so cute!
ReplyDeleteYou find the best backings for your quilts! I love the fresh, happy colors in this quilt, those colors are so soothing on these hot, hot days!
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics are so pretty! Lovely little happy quilting motifs too. These will make someone very happy. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Great quilts, Nancy. I really love that penguin fabric on the back!! I love the motifs you used as well! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love them, and the backing is so cute! I definitely need to check Ikea for duvets! Thank you for sharing these joyful little quilts and linking up!
ReplyDeleteI love your aqua colored versions. And I for sure now want a pinguin backed quilt. Ok, hopefully I can talk myself out of it, but I will google the Ikea duvet first ;)
ReplyDeletePS: I think you are right with the "unusual meander" description. Surely in a postive way. For me it is the little circle. xo
