A collection of more than 40 patterns for animal-themed bed quilts, rugs, mats, wall hangings and mug rugs all made using jelly roll pre-cut fabric. Quilters love pre-cut fabric strips because they are quick and easy to use and the fabrics always coordinate. All of the projects in this book are constructed from pre-cut fabric strips that are sub-cut into rectangles and then turned into 60 degree shapes by trimming the corners in a special way and we include a template for this if you don't have a 60 degree ruler. All of the techniques are explained with detailed step-by-step instructions and comprehensive diagrams. This collection features over 40 patterns for animal themed quilts, rugs and more - perfect for children's bedrooms and nurseries. As well as the 40 plus patterns there are instructions for readers to create even more variations by mixing and matching the different design elements and motifs, and all of the projects have an ability rating so you can find your level and build your skills as you go. In addition to the main animals, in this collection there are designs for motifs including paw prints and even fish - ideal for pet bowl mats - and there are instructions for how to mix and match these elements to make personalised variations. The main projects include crib quilts, cuddle throw quilts, quilted wall hangings for decoration, floor rugs, mug rugs and table and pet bowl mats. There are also instructions for how to make themed banners (bunting) using the leftover jelly roll strips so for each animal there are a variety of different projects to decorate a room. The instructions for cutting and piecing the fabrics are very comprehensive with step-by-step instructions and diagrams for fast and accurate patchwork. As well as the piecing instructions there are general instructions for how to make a quilt sandwich, quilting techniques and binding and finishing the projects. Ira explains everything you need to get great results with a professional finish including how to add a non-slip backing to rugs and display strips for the wall hangings so you can hang them without damaging your walls. So in no time you will be making fun animal jelly roll quilts to brighten up your home.
