Life in the Scrapatch: Scrappy Saturday Quilt Start ~ Animal Quilt Challenge 2024

These scrap fabrics landed on my cutting table today to start a new project.

for my grand-daughter with this fabric.

I have saved the scraps for a special quilt for another special baby.

Time to sew that special quilt.

I will have to add more fabrics from my stash to make all the blocks.

My plan is to make this new quilt sewing along with the ...

A few years ago, I participated in this annual challenge

and the quilt that resulted is one of my personal favorites.

So I have decided to try my hand again.

This years theme is an Animal Quilt.

I checked and my choice of animal has been approved.

I will be making a toddler quilt for my grand-niece who is a year old.

Her nursery and birthday theme and her recent birthday theme was bees.

I will be using this free Bee Block from the

and possible the Bird Block and Flower Blocks too for my quilt.

I am not sure of the layout.

I will let my quilty muse choose the layout as I go.

The challenge calls for making a quilt with a minimum of 16 blocks.

Hope to have the first block to show you soon!
