Default English Bulldog Pattern?

My husband and I do fostering for rescued English Bulldogs (insert your "awe" here, lol).

Anyway, I'd like to make an English Bulldog quilt for a fund raiser they are having in November.
Well....unless too complicated, and then maybe scale it down to a wall hanging

Any decent patterns people are aware of or have made?
Thank!

What kind of pattern are you looking for, appliquéd pieced or embroidery? There are Redwork patterns for different dog breeds.

I was hoping not embroidered. I have a few designs for those. So I would guess piece work?

How about taking close-ups of a bunch of those cute mooshy faces. Send them online to a company that prints them on fabric (supposedly better than the ones you print yourself). You could then use them as centers for blocks. I'm sure there are several of these companies. I know of http://www.spoonflower.com/eco_canva...72003293234690

If you can find coloring pages for kids you could do one in machine applique. This is a rottweiler picture I found and then put him in a bathroom setting.

You could look for bulldog printed fabric (for example: http://www.spoonflower.com/tags/bulldog) and build on that. Maybe a disappearing however-many-patch using coordinating fabrics?
