Just as a recap:

Samarra came up with a bunch of fantastically awkward pixelated animal illustrations and I took them and transformed them in to quilt patterns. There was a lot of back and forth about things like colors, placement, which animals to release when, etc etc. So you know your getting the best product we could think of.

I introduce to you the Bat!

The bat is one of our Seasonal Specials. This means it coincides with an upcoming holiday or a theme the current month has. These are mostly going to be much larger quilts too, so they may be the only animal that month.

You can find this pattern in my shop, or in Samarra’s.

This is an 81″ square quilt with many half square triangles and two different curved templates. Unlike the other animals, this quilt also features background objects like the mountains, moon and fellow bats in the distance.

The pattern is written in such a way where you work on small sections at a time, and then piece those sections together. It makes it less overwhelming and easier to pick up and drop at any moment. It doesn’t need to be pieced all in one setting.

Also, like with the rest of the series there are video links included to help you along, as well as tips and tricks throughout.

This is our third month releasing these Awkward Animal Portrait Quilts and I am loving the way they all look together! It’s been a lot of fun and I’m glad I signed on.
