ORCA ( Pattern Only)

Creating a quilt pattern featuring orca whales can be a fun and visually striking project. Here is a step-by-step guide to designing an orca whale quilt pattern:

Pattern Design:

1. Research and Inspiration: Look for images of orca whales to get a sense of their shapes and patterns. Notice the distinctive black and white coloring and the placement of the white patches.

2. Sketch the Design: On graph paper, sketch a simple design of an orca whale. You can use a side view to simplify the shape.

3. Divide the Design into Blocks: Decide on the size of your quilt and divide your sketch into blocks. Each block will be a manageable piece of fabric to work with.

4. Create Templates: Using your sketch, create templates for each part of the orca whale. You will need templates for the black parts, white parts, and the background.
