Baby quilts are a perennial favorite among quilters. Not only do they make wonderful and heartfelt gifts, but baby quilts are the perfect medium to explore fun new designs and creative patterns. From applique to bold color combinations, baby quilt patterns are wonderful for adding your own twist and flair to a standard design.

Cheri Leffler takes classic patterns and turns them into fun, unique baby quilts that will turn any baby room into a playhouse. Use either needle-turn or fusible applique to add fun and creative animals to any baby quilt. From cheerful frogs to adorable penguin friends, you can't go wrong with one of these wonderful patterns. One of the best features of this book is its variety. The School Friends quilt pattern is a fun underwater scene with every type of water animal; Kits 'n' Caboodle features playful foxes and bluebirds; and Whoo Dat? Spices up star blocks with five unique owl appliques. Follow the patterns exactly or use the applique to mix and match to create your own menagerie!

That Patchwork Place is known for its high-quality products, and Animal Parade certainly earns that reputation. The book is laid out in a clear, easy-to-follow format, with high-resolution photographs that make following a pattern a snap. Animal Parade is a must-have addition to any quilter's library.
