It can't be out of print!

Most of what is exciting here--the animals--is in Quilter's Ark, but it isn't the same. Foundation piecing directions sound like more trouble than the graphs, because.... I started quilting using her animal patterns--redrafting them (not hard) to teensy Christmas ornaments and eighteen-inch blocks for a wall-hanging.

Wonderful animal quilts are a great way to begin quilting

Margaret Rolfe's Patchwork Quilts for Children, is excellent for those of any age. It includes patterns for a menagerie quilt (all sorts of zoo animals), a dinosaur quilt, ABCs, sheep -- mainly straight-line piecing, but some applique as well. Ms. Rolfe's directions are very clear and throrough, you won't need a basics book to go with this if it is your first quilting adventure. Experienced quilters can learn a lot from her descriptions as well. Highly recommended.
