African Animals

The piecing of each block is a little bit fussy but the block diagrams make it simpler.

Hand applique would take longer and would be for a more experienced quilter.  Fusible applique with a nice satin stitch is simple and re-positionable before ironing.  We would recommend this pattern for a very determined beginner or moderate skill level for hand applique.

Animal applique:  for each of the 8 animals, you will need roughly one fat quarter plus smaller pieces in lighter/darker shades for highlights and shadowing.

Background: 8 fat quarters

Inner border: 7/8 yard

Outer border: 1 yard

Backing: 3 1/2 yards

Batting: Twin

Binding: 3/4 yard
