Printed pattern for 'Keeping a look out" block 1 quilt raw edge applique tutorial free motion embroidery

Keeping a lookout features a lovely pastel background with a pale border and a row of inquisitive meerkats.

This pattern is for block 1 which measures 10 by 14" (excluding seam allowances) and forms the middle of three blocks in the quilt. The full set of three patterns result in final quilt measuring 14 by 30". This block contains three meerkats and flower.
The quilt itself is in my usual style, so it is a patchwork background with raw edge applique sewn with free motion embroidery. You don't need a fancy machine to sew it but your machine needs to be able to do free motion embroidery. The pattern contains basic instructions for the patchwork. I don't go into a lot of detail on patchwork as I am assuming that you know the basics but other than the odd half square triangle, it is all pretty simple.

I use raw edge techniques and the patterns are using those instructions, but I will put in sufficient fabric that you could also use needle turn techniques, but no instructions will be given.

Hopefully that all makes sense, but please don't hesitate to ask if anything is unclear.
