Summer Camp Critters Free Quilt Pattern by LJ Simon
Description:
Summer Camp Critters arranges twelve appliqued motifs into a 36-by-48-inch quilt. LJ Simon designed the project using Happy Campers fabrics by Jill McDonald, with animal faces joined by an apple and a rainbow. Fusible shapes build the individual faces and details, while chain-stitch embroidery adds selected mouths. The blocks are joined directly into four rows of three, and the instructions include reversed templates, placement guides and guidance for stitching several blocks by thread color.
