Use simple patchwork techniques to make your own skulk of friendly, fancy, foxes. These foxes will look adorable in whatever fabrics you use!

ABOUT THE PATTERN

This is a patchwork pattern. All fabric is rotary cut and sewn together using conventional patchwork piecing.

This pattern includes a diagram and chart showing all of the pieces needed to make each block. You can use this as a reference while making the pattern projects, or as a guide for making individual blocks and scrappy projects.

Among my patterns, Fancy Fox is rated Skill Level 1 (of 5). You can read more about skill levels here.

You can make Fancy Fox blocks with precut 10" x 10" squares (such as Moda Layer Cakes or Robert Kaufman 10-Squares), precut 2-1/2" x WOF strips (such as Moda Jelly Rolls or Robert Kaufman Roll-Ups), 9" x 21" fat eighths, or 18" x 21" fat quarters.

You will also need Light Solid Fabric for the Muzzles, Dark Solid Fabric for the Eyes and Noses, and a mid-tone Background Fabric.
