Inhaltsangabe

A collection of more than 40 patterns for animal-themed bed quilts, rugs, mats and wall hangings all made using pre-cut fabric rolls often known as jelly rolls.

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 then sub-cut into 60-degree shapes before being pieced, and the book includes a 60 degree template that can be traced or downloaded for ease.

All of the techniques are explained with detailed step-by-step instructions and comprehensive diagrams. There is also advice about preparing and cutting the strips, the importance of seam allowance, piecing and quilting.

This collection features over 40 patterns for animal-themed quilts, rugs and more – perfect for children's bedrooms and nurseries. In addition to the main animals, 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. All of the projects have an ability rating so you can find your level and build your skills as you go.

The main projects include crib quilts, cuddle throw quilts, quilted wall hangings for decoration, floor 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 techniques 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, 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.

In the world of quilting, colorful Jelly Rolls became a source of never-ending inspiration to me, and I hope they will inspire you too. These mind-blowing bundles of coordinating fabric strips are easy to use and so much fun to sew!

All quilts in this book are constructed from precut fabric strips that are sub-cut into rectangles, and then turned into 60° shapes by trimming corners in a special way.
There are 9 animal designs – a bear, an owl, a dog, a cat, a raccoon, a fox, an elephant, a ladybug and a frog – with several coordinating projects for each animal. Every project is assigned a level of difficulty, so you can start with easier patterns and move up to the next level as you get comfortable with the process.

In addition, you can mix and match blocks from different animals to create your own animal quilts. Why not make a cat and dog quilt with paw prints from the bear pattern, or use the fox and raccoon blocks for a woodland theme quilt? You can also create a cute banner for your room and a matching pillow using fabric scraps from your animal projects.
Using patterns in this book, you can make crib quilts, cuddle throw quilts, area rugs, wall hangings, pillows, mug rugs, placemats and more. The sky’s the limit. I hope you enjoy making these fun animal quilts from your precut fabric strips!
