Mr Penguin 16" Foundation Paper Piecing Pattern
Say hello to Mr Penguin! I designed this pattern for my daughter who loves TY Beanie Boos. The finished 16” block would be fun as a cushion cover or as part of a children’s quilt. It is the first pattern in a collection of toy designs —next up is my daughter’s favourite soft toy, her lemur named Pony Possum!
The pattern is fat-quarter– and scrap-friendly with a colouring page to choose your fabric and attach your swatches. There are 2 labelled reference diagrams to aid with piecing (showing the finished block and the reverse) - they both show the same information so use whichever versions you prefer.
Difficulty level: This pattern can be completed by an adventurous FPP beginner. There are a lot of small pieces and several sections that need to be aligned carefully but it is doable with a can-do attitude and methodical approach! This pattern has no Y-seams and requires only straight-line sewing (like all my patterns)
Included in this pattern:
- Coloured pattern templates with ¼” seam allowance for 16” finished block.
- Assembly instructions with coloured reference diagrams and tips for matching seams
- Colouring page to customise your fabric selection and attach your swatches
This pattern assumes prior basic knowledge of foundation paper piecing and does not include FPP instructions. There are many tutorials online and YouTube videos that teach the FPP process.
