"Noah and the ark are a favorite theme for books and toys because of the diversity of the animals. I have really enjoyed creating these critters for you.
I imagine that you will find many ways to use these animals without Noah. Remember, you need to choose the "mirror image" option when you print if you want your sewn animal to face in the same direction it does in this program. To face him in the opposite direction, do not check the mirror image option. So you can have it both ways!
Because of the basic square format in this program, many of these critters are not proportionate to one another. The pig, for example, is as large as the elephant! Make adjustments for this by enlarging or shrinking the designs appropriately. (See Shirley Liby's Suggested Size in this program's Help files.) Remember, you can print the blocks in any size you would like.
Most of the animals will need a bead for an eye to make them look complete."

The big cat can be a tiger, a spotted leopard, a lioness, or a black panther, according to the fabric that you choose. |

This is one of two ark designs. You can use stripes across the whole boat horizontally, to simulate wood boards, or you can make this all one color. You'll find this Ark also in the Boats file, with a lower water level. When you assemble this block, you could center up little animal faces in each of the ark's windows for a fun effect. |

Noah is a fun figure and easy to create. He looks great in dark plaids or homespun stripes. |

Find a good fabric for the stately giraffe. He is usually light brown with some spots. A pin dot will work well if you can find the right color. |

The lion needs a mate so make her with the big cat pattern. |
Make the elephant's ears by cutting two little ear pieces, sewing them right sides together. Clip the seam allowances and turn them inside out. Press the ear and then insert it into the seam between part 2 and part 3 when you assemble the block
