Here’s Thursday Schedule for the Appliqued Animals Blog Hop
Thursday April 25th
Beaquilter (Summer Animals)
Janesquilting (Critters and Bugs)
Seamstobesew (Summer Stuff)
Today I’m showing you a summer animal.
I had this idea for a cow! I mean what’s more summer than the smell of cows, no just kidding!
I started with some basic ovals for the head and mouth (what’s that called on a cow again?) and then a curve at the bottom and a line connecting the sides.
I like the “funky” shapes on the side bar, one is a tear drop so I used that for the horns, then another is a wedge shape that was great for the ears
Here’s the basic face of a cow
Of course I had to add some eyes too.
And made a second set smaller for the pupils
Then added some ovals for the nostrils
Here is the block all done and layered correctly
He looks cute colored too
Wouldn’t this be a cute table runner!
Moooooo!!
Here’s a pdf for a 6” block
I wanted to show a picture of our “local” cows the “oreo” cows or rather the belted galloway cows.
Don’t forget to comment again to have a chance at winning Quilting Designs7

That is the sweetest thing!! This looks like so much fun
That cow block made me smile! Another great baby quilt idea, thanks!
Okay, I confess, I always think of cows as summer animals. In the summer I see them in the fields much more than in the winter where they obviously hide and huddle together.
That is just the cutest little cow and what a perfect table runner! Thanks for sharing Bea!
Super cute cow applique. And to make a tabel runner from it that was creative.
