Quilting Plans for the Endangered Species BOM

The Endangered Species Block of the Month is a stunning set of foundation paper pieced patterns designed by Cassandra Beaver for Aurifil. Each foundation paper pieced block features an animal in dire need of attention, advocacy, and compassion. This block of the month is an amazing way to grow your foundation paper piecing skills.

The Endangered Species Block of the Month is a thread subscription / QAL combo. The best part, in my opinion, is getting to use all your beautiful threads to quilt these amazing blocks! Each one can be a mini-masterpiece, or you can piece them all together before quilting for a truly magical sampler.

The Aurifil Color Builders: Endangered Species series was first offered from Aurifil in 2021. That year, I partnered with Aurifil to create monthly educational articles and videos to help you quilt each block with confidence. I taught on topics like how to quilt bulky seams, different types of quilting feet, how to make a quilting plan, and more. Below, I’ve linked the full library of articles for you.
