This commissioned pattern was created for the August 2018 cruise sponsored by Stitchin Heaven with Tula Pink, Stacey Day and our very own Jenny Pedigo as the guest designers!  We love the idea that every quilt has a story or 'tale'.  What is your tale, and why would you make this quilt?  We used a collection of Tula Pink prints!

Hannah ★★★★★

I picked this up after the cruise and the paper pattern is nice and sturdy, way better than the flimsy ones I've bought before. The whale block comes together fast, and the layout diagrams made the whole thing easy to follow.

Henry ★★★★★

The whale motifs are adorable and the instructions are crystal clear—perfect for a paper-piecing newbie like me. I love that it was created for a special cruise event, gives it a fun backstory.

Ryan B. ★★★★★

Saw this pattern on the cruise and grabbed it as soon as it was available. The whale's tail is pieced from curved sections that come together neatly, and the fabric choices really change the whole look. Paper pattern arrived printed clearly with no smudged lines.
