This was a great book of patterns and very well organized. I took a star away because I felt like the book needed some projects that showcased the patterns too, it felt lacking without it

This book is full of creative designs, and the author provides detailed color templates and templates with letter-and-number coded pieces to aid with assembly. Each of the twenty designs takes up multiple pages, because she doesn't just show the reader her work, but also provides an instructional breakdown for how to do it. This book involves intricate work, but it is all broken down into straightforward steps, making it accessible to less experienced quilters.

Excellent FPP patterns for 20 animals. I'll use the cat; still searching for a beaver pattern. Nice instructions and only one correction (on the dog pattern, unfortunately) which without the corrected pages doesn't come out right, so know this if you order it used.

Super cute animals using paper piecing. Loved the elephant and dolphin.
