Noah’s Journey #3 Quilting Pattern by Crabapple Hill

Description

Noah’s Journey #3 – Pigs, Geese, & Turtles PATTERN BY CRABAPPLE HILL is a quilting pattern designed by the renowned quilt pattern maker, Crabapple Hill. This pattern is perfect for quilters of all skill levels and features vibrant colors and intricate details. The pattern includes detailed instructions for piecing together nine blocks that feature pigs, geese, and turtles. With its whimsical and unique design, this pattern will make a stunning quilt that will surely be the envy of all who see it!

The animals are lining up to board the Ark! This whimsical 12-month BOM of the ark and its sometimes-silly animals, all comes together in an enchanting 66 1/2” x 78 1/2” quilt. We’ll start with the large Ark block, and then move on to months where there will be 1 to 3 blocks given in one pattern, ending with the quilt assembly pattern. Most of the embroidery floss colors needed for the entire quilt are used in the Ark block, with a few more being added later.

The embroidery on all of these blocks would be very easy for a confident beginner. The piecing in the quilt is the same… easy, but impressive looking! Instructions for cutting all of the embroidered blocks are given in the first pattern, The Ark, so you can have all of your stitching fabric ready to go! I used Moda Warm White muslin for both my stitching background fabric, and my muslin backing – 3 3/4 yd of each (7 1/2 yards in all.)

The pigs were a little bit leery about getting out on the water! Noah’s crew has outfitted them with floatation rings, so they’re happy now, and hopefully they’ll take them off at some point during the journey! The Canada Geese can’t wait for the rains to start, and the turtles and snails are bringing up the rear…slowly! Three blocks in this single pattern!

Pigs measure approximately 5 ¾” x 3”, block finishes 6” square.
Geese are approximately 4 ¾” x 3 ⅛”, block finishes 6” square.
Turtles are approximately 3” x 2”, block finishes 3” square.
