Quilt Dash is all about “Smile & Wave” this Month!

Quilt Therapy Posted on by

The inspiration for this quilt comes from the Penguins in the original Madagascar movie!

When the penguins are sitting on the bench in Times Square, the police start moving in, to try to capture the escaped zoo animals. Rico is the leader of the Penguins. He tells his two friends to, “Smile & Wave” so they don’t look too conspicuous.

In other words: If you’re confronted with anything that’s not to your liking, all you need to do is “Smile & Wave” it away! The Penguins from the original movie "Madagascar"!
