Quilt front

Steps 1-2

Quilt front assembly

1

Join the panels you’ve made

for the front of the quilt in pairs,

right sides together, as follows:

• Zoo entrance and penguin panels


• Giraffe and lion panels


• Panda and elephant panels


• Monkey and crocodile panels.
  Refer to the photograph to check that
  you’re joining the panels in the correct
  order. Press all the seams open.

2

Join the penguin and giraffe

panels to make one half. Then join

the elephant and monkey panels for

the other half, pressing the seams

open as before. Sew the two halves

together; there will be a small gap at

the centre, which will be appliquéd

over in Part 10.

Press the backing fabric and

spread it out on a large fl at

surface. Lay the quilt front over it.

Cut the backing fabric about 3in

front. Set the quilt front aside.

Fold the backing fabric into

quarters and lightly press the

folds to assist with positioning the

monkey appliqué.

Trace the monkey appliqué shapes

from the Pattern Sheet onto the

paper side of the fusible web, leaving

about^1 ⁄ 2 in between them. Cut them

out roughly, fuse them to the wrong

sides of the following appliqué fabrics
