Description
Six bush babies, sound asleep on a cot quilt — a baby koala, a wombat, a joey peeking out of the pouch, a bilby, a quokka and a platypus, appliquéd in soft pastels with cream sashing and a dusty-pink binding, and a cot-safety page written into the pattern itself.
📖 WHAT'S INSIDE
• 6 appliqué blocks, 12in finished: Baby Koala on duck-egg, Baby Wombat on butter, Kangaroo & Joey on blush (pink pouch, joey peeking out), Baby Bilby on mint, Baby Quokka on lilac and Baby Platypus on sky — 85 pieces in all
• A chapter for every block: a placement diagram drawn from the same geometry as the templates, the pieces and fabrics, and the order of work
• Full-size templates for every piece, each template page carrying a 1in test square — the squares were measured at exactly 72pt on all 15 template pages of the finished PDF
• Two ways to appliqué: Method A fusible web, Method B needle-turn — pick your favourite, or mix them block by block
• Fabric requirements for the whole quilt plus a per-block computed table (about 4.0 m of fabric, plus backing and wadding), and full cutting figures for sashing, borders and the five dusty-pink binding strips
• Assembly in a 2 x 3 layout with cream sashing, quilting and binding steps, and pram-quilt and wall-hanging variations
⚠️ COT SAFETY FIRST
This pattern carries a dedicated cot-safety page, and the thank-you page repeats the reminder. Appliqué is secured with machine blanket stitch or double stitching, with edges re-checked after washing. There are NO buttons, beads, sequins, ribbons, bows or glued parts anywhere — eyes and noses are fabric or embroidery only, exactly as templated, and the bilby's whiskers are embroidery cotton, never wire or monofilament. Fabrics are pre-washed, and the safe-sleep note is plain: the quilt is for supervised play, tummy time and cot-side use — no loose quilts in the sleep space under 12 months.
🌿 THE AUSSIE BIT
The bush's babies, before they're big enough to hop away — the same animal cast as our appliqué quilt blocks, redrawn as babies in nursery pastels for the smallest Australian in the family.
