DESCRIPTION:
Full of charm and whimsy, this book presents quilt patterns to make especially for children.
The Country Circus Quilt sports two jaunty elephants, a seal cavorting with a beach ball and a pair of two long-necked giraffes. Two double-humped camels, trumpeting elephants, a showy peacock, and a throng of other animals frolic on Noah’s Country Ark Quilt.
Country Quilts for Children includes complete patterns, instructions, and quilting template patterns for making each of these small quilts.
