Snuggly Sloths

These adorable animal friends just want to hang out in their favorite tree! Piece them using fat eighths or Layer Cakes (precut 10" x 10" squares).

ABOUT THE PATTERN

This is a patchwork-pieced pattern. The blocks are made entirely of rotary-cut squares and rectangles, and everything is sewn together using conventional patchwork techniques. No templates or paper piecing!

This pattern includes a large number of pieces, some of which are small, but the same basic patchwork piecing techniques are used throughout. The pattern includes detailed cutting directions, including charts that show all of the pieces included in each block. The instructions for making each block include both written directions and full-color diagrams for each step.

Among my patterns, Snuggly Sloths is rated Skill Level 3 (of 5). You can read more about skill levels here.

ABOUT THE FABRIC

Snuggly Sloths is made with Moda's Bella Solids, including the colors in my Elizabeth's Favorites palette. Page 2 of the pattern includes a fabric chart that shows which colors are used in which quilt sizes.

The sloths in the Large Quilt can be made with a Layer Cake of Elizabeth's Favorites Bella Solids (shipping October 2025).

The background in my sample quilts is Bella Metal. The binding is Bella Kelp.

ABOUT THE QUILTING

My samples were quilted by Emily Hoppe of So Sunny Quilts using Julie Hirt's Petal Pusher's Alt edge-to-edge design. (The design was stitched upside-down to mimic the vines in the quilt.)
