Sue’s Animal Quilt Sampler Sew Along – From A to Z
Designed by Sue Bouchard – Finished size: 58″ x 68″
This quilt features new ways to combine our fabrics into 6″, 9″ and 12″ blocks. We will take traditional blocks to the next level by creating a sense of motion in their design. Each one highlights a different species from our animal kingdom from Alligators to Zebras.
