It was a 9 patch. Pretty much the only pattern I knew about. A friend who also worked for basset hound rescue had some squares of fabric with hounds on them already cut out, actually 2 different fabrics. I had just gotten my humble new Kenmore sewing machine and she asked if I thought I could put a quilt together with the blocks she had. In my complete ignorance I said, "I guess so". Believe it or not I even with taking 2 weeks to figure out how to thread my machine(it had been 20 years since I'd used a sewing machine and I knew nothing of quilting other than watching my stepmother hand quilt tops) I did finish a Queen sized 9 patch quilt with sashing and borders AND matching shams in time for it to be donated for that spring's Waddle Pawction where it sold for an unbelievable, to me, $300.00. I learned soooo many things NOT to do and most certainly did many things the long way around. doG help her if she ever has to wash the quilt(currently resides in a little used guest bedroom). If I had realized how truly clueless I was I'd have never finished the quilt.
