Animal quilts - answer to questions
I will try to answer all your questions regarding the animal quilts. they are called Patch Pals and were put out by Quitmaker magazine starting in 2011 with one animal per issue for 2 yrs. They have come out with one new on this year - the Racoon. The Panda was only a picture using the Bear pattern. They are quite easy and the patterns are easy to follow.
They seem to be so popular, Quiltmaker has put out a book called Patch Pals. I do know both Quiltmaker and Amazon both have it, and wouldn't be surprised to see it in other places as well.
All of mine will be going to Linus.
