Design Source - Based On | Noah's Ark Paper Piecing |
Design Source - Description | I used a Paper Foundation Instruction Book for Noah's Ark and all the animals. I did not do paper piecing. Instead, I used the book for patterns and cut all of the pieces fabric, then used fusible web to create the little 4 1/2" blocks. I then used my sewing machine's tight zig-zag stitch to go around all the pieces and give it somewhat of a stained glass look. I placed my animals in every other blocks. Noah's Ark is a large block in the center and it actually pieced together by machine. All of the plain blocks have some sort of machine embroidery. The quilt is a gift for a little boy (distant relative) in Croatia. The animals all have their names embroidered in both English and Croatian. Also, the bible verse where God gives instructions to Noah after he built the ark is also in English and Crostian. It is bordered with the colors of the rainbow and the corners have embroidered doves. I used stitch in the ditch method of quilting. |
