💡 Why this kit

Elizabeth Hartman's patterns are famous for their adorable (and often fashionable) animals, and Penguin Party is no exception. There are plenty of smaller pieces, but these penguins aren't as complicated as they look. Once you've pieced the basic components, the repetition starts to make sense—and before long, you'll have an entire party on your hands.

The sweater-inspired fabrics are what make this version especially fun. Fair Isle prints, knit textures, and cozy patterns give every penguin a little winter wardrobe, while the bold Vintage Blue background keeps the finished quilt graphic and modern.

And with three different penguin sizes, the finished quilt has plenty of movement and personality.

This kit keeps it simple:

• No hunting for tiny sweater prints that all work together
• No figuring out which fabrics belong on which penguins
• No wondering whether your Fair Isle is festive, wintry, and fabulous enough. It is!

Just an artfully curated mix of fabric and pattern, ready for a very stylish penguin party.
