If you are new to quilting, I can help you to get started with my ‘Animals’ quilt.
This is a single-bed pattern which uses a single block 35 times, so once you have mastered the block you will get plenty of practice! There are videos on my YouTube channel showing you how to cut fabric and join pieces to make this exact block.
You can go to the You Tube channel by clicking here.
I made the quilt in autumn colours, but it would look great in soft pastels or in modern brights. The centre of each block in my quilt is an Australian animal, but you can choose any fabric with suitable motifs. You can download the pattern as a PDF by clicking the link below:
