Well I finally got this little beauty done, and I will say this is the first quilt that I was REALLY happy with how the colors came out. I can't WAIT to throw it in the washer to see it pucker a little more and bring out the quilting.

So I'm off to throw it int he wash with like 3 color catchers JUST in case! :)

So cute! I love this pattern.

That is a great quilt, Michael!! I love it, and the puppy in the pic is adorable!! Who makes the puppy fabric? I need it!

Like the color combination and pattern,and love how the adorable dog fabric that you used on the back works with the front fabrics.

It's lovely, well done. :thumbup:

Luv the colors! I think, the dog wants to lay on it!

Very pretty and the backing is darling!

Great job, Michael! I love it! It looks like such a fun quilt to make.

Great looking quilt

Sooo cute! I like the color combo too!

That is a gorgeous quilt! You should be very proud of it!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :D

Neat quilt. Nice work.

How cute! Very cheery and upbeat.

Great looking colorful quilt! Did you quilt this yourself too? Good job! I'm sure your inspector really enjoyed the backing!

I love it and the colors are great!! thanks for sharing

A real beauty.

Beautiful quilt! Love that backing fabric. Your quilt inspector is cute too!

Oh, so wonderful! Makes you feel "wiggly/snuggly all over"! :-D

But I admit I don't get the "crackers and cheese" part.....certainly not from the great colors, anyway. :?:

I've seen the cheese and crackers pattern before but not with the spacer blocks you have used. I love this and am adding it to my list! It's Darling. Great job.

Very cute quilt - love the backing!

Cute, cute, cute, and puppy dog approved!! :thumbup:

Great colors, they're so bright and sunny. I love the dog fabric on the back, too.

Very nice Michael!!

That is sooo cute! Love the dog.

Love it. It looks so cheery. Love the quilt inspector most of all though :-D

What a pretty quilt

Beautiful, love the colors. Love your dog too, they are the best.

Hey Michael, that is really pretty and such cute fabric!

AWESOME~!Love the colors and the quilting

Thank you for all of the kind words. :) To answer some questions:

The pattern for this is call "Cheese & Crackers" which is why I title my subject that. :)

This is a Benatrex fabirc called "Playful Pups"

And I DID quilt this myself. Now when I say "I" did it it was with my mega quilter and Qbot, so it wasn't ALL by hand, or even free motioned.

Also I just got it out of the dryer...it's SO nice and puckery now. I just LOVE that! Which is why I don't prewash my fabric, and my color catchers worked GREAT! No bleeding into the white at all! :P

That came out great! Did you do all that quilting yourself on a home machine???? If so, I'm even more impressed!

this is just tooo cute. :thumbup: :thumbup:

That is really cute! Great color choices :)

What a lovely pattern. You have done a great job with it. Love the choice of backing as well. :thumbup: :thumbup:

What are color catchers? i don't think I have ever heard of them.

They are FANTASTIC! I use the ones made from SHOUT. They are by the fabric softener sheets in the laundry aisle normally.

Basically you throw a sheet in with you wash and it catches any dyes that come out of your clothes. Because I don't prewash my fabric I always use them.

With all the white in this quilt I didn't want the white to come out pinkish or blue-ish. :)

So nice! good colors, good pattern.
