A Quilter's Ark

by Margaret Rolfe

Create a menagerie of quilted critters with exciting foundation-pieced block designs by Margaret Rolfe! Piece a panda, generate a giraffe, render a rhinoceros--or sew up dozens of other birds and animal designs, including a lion, flamingo, toucan, hippo, koala, parrot, and elephant. Stitch even the smallest pieces of your blocks with ease and accuracy when you use Margaret's fast and fun foundation-piecing technique. Simply trace a design onto the foundation, add oversized pieces of fabric, and sew on the straight lines with your machine! Combine any number of 4" x 4" blocks to make small or large theme quilts, or piece your blocks into clothing and other projects. Complete instructions, patterns for four quilts, and a special ark block are included.

I made the Noah's Ark quilt. It was the first quilt that I ever finished. Not the first one that I started, though. (You crafters know what I mean. LOL) I made it years ago, but it was so cute that I didn't want to use it. I finally gave it to my baby last year.
I love the patterns in this book. If you like to foundation piece, you will like these.

This book has really cute designs for foundation piecing animals, and the directions are relatively easy to follow! The finished product was spectacular!

Adorable blocks set in at least three different quilts. Probably not one to add to my collection but good for inspiration.
