Animal Quilts - Juliet van der Heijden

From David & Charles, Animal Quilts by Juliet van der Heijden is a paperback guide to creating foundation paper-pieced quilt blocks with contemporary animal designs. Across 12 different patterns, it shows how to build realistic representations of animals and birds for striking quilt projects at home.

Clear, step-by-step instructions explain Juliet’s foundation paper-piecing techniques, with guidance on resizing the quilt blocks to make them larger and adding borders to increase the overall quilt size. The book also explores how fabric choice can change the final look of each design, encouraging you to adapt the patterns through your own colour and fabric selections. All pattern pieces are provided via a PDF download, and ‘colouring in’ sheets are included to help you plan your own colourways.
