Imagine a world where steam-powered technology remained the dominant form of advanced technology, set in the Victorian era.

In Steampunk Menagerie you see retro futuristic animals with distinctive style featuring brass, copper, gears, goggles and pocket watches. Combined with 60 degree angles, each hexagon tells its own story.

What might the future have looked like if it had been invented with steam engines and Victorian engineering instead of electronics and digital technology?

Thank you Jason Yenter & In the Beginning Fabrics for providing these fabulous fabrics from the Steampunk Menagerie fabric line.

I cut my strips 3.25″ wide to yield 5″ finished hexies. For fast and accurate equilateral triangles, I always use my First Choice rulers to cut my triangles.

Top and bottom sections are attached, then the right side. Finally the left side is attached.

The wise owl and the elephant are leading the giraffe and peacock out of the darkness.

I used my Star 60 tool to create 5″ finished Star 60 units to create the Serengeti for the turtle, hippo and zebra to enter. The Bear and the Monkey are just sitting back and observing.

I cut diamonds from my 3.25″ strips to create 10″ finished Star 60 units featuring each of the main characters from the menagerie.

Steampunk Menagerie measures 75″ x 65″ unquilted. I love the story this OBW tells.
