I do a lot of hand quilting but have run into a BIG problem. My daughter wants a quilt made of animals. these Animals look real after you have sewed your pieces together. I cannot find a pattern . Can anyone help me?

Try "Quilting Books Unlimited" They have had many patterns for animals in their booth at shows.

also Google Animal Quilt Patterns. Lots of places come up
Try www.quiltknit.com at Ginger's Needlework and Quilting

What type of animals does she want?

Tame animals or wild animals?

A Quilter's Ark by Margaret Rolfe has alot of paper pieced animals.

Sorry I'm no help but wanted to support you in your search. Did you put realistic piece animal patterns in the search box of your computer. That's usually my first source.
