Peekaboo Mouse Applique Pattern

Add this little mouse to any blocks in any quilt pattern. In the photos below you can see him peeking into several blocks in the Noisy Farm quilt (he's included with that pattern), but he'd also adorable added to the Cuddly Cats quilt.

Or use him on his own - it's up to you! I think he'd look awfully cute peeking out of a pocket. :-)

Important - the pattern is only for the mouse. The cat you see on the cover is not included. He's just there to help demonstrate two ways you can use the mouse with other quilt blocks - peeking into the block from the edges, or peeking out from behind a friend.

SIZE

The mouse finished at about 2 1/2 inches tall. You can easily enlarge or reduce the pattern to make him bigger or smaller.

DIFFICULTY

Easy! Outlining the face is a little fiddly - but there's a link to a video showing how I do it all by machine using only  a basic straight stitch.

The mouse is small enough that you only need scraps to make him. I used Gingham Play fabrics for the demo pieces you see, with a bit of solid added for his tummy.
