Zoo Animals - A Paper Piecing BoM

It's a new year which means a new paper pieced BoM! This year we're going to the zoo. My house is a zoo so this seemed appropriate.



Our theme for 2015 is Zoo Animals! Yay! Here’s a quick look at what will be included this year!

Zoo Animals

9 patterns with one pattern per month will take you through to September. That gives you the last few months of the year to get the patterns finished and put together into a fun quilt or wallhanging.

Each pattern makes a 10” block. The patterns range in skill level and I will be sharing the easier ones first leading up to the hardest at the end (I’m looking at you Mr Lion). Each month there will be one free pattern made available. It becomes a paid pattern on the 1st of the next month (Australian time because I’m Australian) and the next pattern becomes available. Or if you can’t wait for all of the patterns to become available, you can pick up the entire bundle in my new shop.

I will post each new pattern in my shop and blog about it on the 1st of the month so keep an eye out! There is also a linky party included where you can share your version of the block. Here's a quick reference to the link parties.

January block - Flamingo
February block - Penguin
March block - Polar bear 
April block - Walrus 
May block - Giraffe 
June block - Blue Macaw 
July block - Koala 
August block - Monkey 
September block - Lion

Hope you enjoy making these blocks! I can't wait to see them! Happy sewing quilty types!

    These animals are sooo cute! I love that each animal has it's own little personality shining through!

    Hi Kristy! Would it be OK for me to use the picture of the blocks from above that says A Quiet Play BOM on my blog sidebar to show I'm taking part (linking back to here)?

    Your quilt is so cute. I've made the flamingo and penguin so far and am thinking of making the flamingo again for a pillow for a friend. Do you have a link so that I can post it on my blog?

    Hi Kristy

    Are all the blocks in this years quilt, going to be on Craftsy? I've been waiting, and waiting for February, but just today discovered that it's on Craftsy, so if I know where to go, then I'll go there, instead of waiting.

    Thanks for the time it takes to design these blocks and post them.

      All the blocks are in my Payhip shop. If you have a look through the main posts on my blog, you'll see I've posted about the block for each month. :)

      I posted the May block on the 1st May. I just forgot to update this page. I don't tend to do much blogging these days, but if you follow my blog you will see when it's posted on the 1st of each month.

    Hi! I am going to ask what is probably a really dumb question! I printed out the pieces for the walrus block and part of the long top part was cut off. Is there a way to print it out from pdf without pieces getting chopped off? Thanks and I am really learning a lot and enjoying the blocks!! (I follow you on instagram and I have been tagging you each time I finish - my blocks are the psychedelic flower power blocks!! Ha Ha)

    Sometimes there are parts that won't fit on a single piece of paper and will need to be taped together before you start piecing. If it looks like it's a piece that should all be on one page though, check that your printer is set to "no scaling" or printing at 100% in case there's an error there. I hope that helps!

      My reply may show up twice. I ended up printing it on 8.5x14 paper which it fit on. There was a small part that was outside the margin of the 8.5x11. It was the correct with when I sewed it and cut it, though. Thanks for your help! :)
