I would like to thank C&T Publishing for an eARC of this book.
Mary Hertel’s SEW CUTE BABY ANIMALS: MIX & MATCH 17 PAPER-PIECED BLOCKS; 6 NURSERY PROJECTS is a gorgeously illustrated book. With superbly clear written instructions and crisp photographs, even a beginner sewer will be paper piecing in a matter of minutes.
As a quilter, I am always on the hunt for new patterns. What I love about this book is that not only do readers get 17 new block patterns, but they can also choose from a variety of different projects to complete. For example, baby bibs and ‘catch alls’.
The author made sure to place on each block page not just the pattern, but also a photograph of how the image will appear in reverse when it’s completed. Sewers can choose among a variety of 8”x8” blocks or opt for an 8”x15.5” block. I loved all the blocks, especially the colt and the elephant.
If you live on a farm (like me!) or just love baby animals and either love to sew or are a beginner to sewing, then this is the book for you!
