The eye-catching colours and friendly faces of the featured animals are sure to captivate young children, providing those beloved early memories of sight and touch which I'd wager many of us have in our minds and hearts when we make quilts for loved ones. The designs are suitable for quilters of most levels, and have an infectious sense of fun that makes them very attractive to embark upon. There is a good variety of colour, fabrics and techniques here, too; there's festive bright red and white in "A Penguin Playdate", autumnal country shades in "Kits 'n' Caboodle", and deep blues and oranges in the aquatically-themed "School Friends". The standout design featuring extremely cute giraffes, "Heads in the Clouds", is featured on the cover. The author advocates needle-turn applique, but also provides comprehensive instructions for those who prefer to speed things up a bit with a fusible web technique. This is a little gem of a book. --Popular Patchwork, June 2014 Pattern designer and quilt artist Cheri Leffler specializes in cheerful animal appliques.
