Quilt dilema
Hi, I have just heard about your wonderful site, and have only just joined actually just this minute, I am very confused and not sure how to proceed.
I have a quilt pattern that is appliqued, (not a problem), but it is far too big for what I need. It is called spot the Dog - it has 5 dogs and 20 kennels. It has 5 at the top and 5 at the bottom and the rest of the kennels are scattered around the quilt and the 5 dogs. I would like to have only 4 kennels and 5 dogs (I know uneven) but would love to have around the panel (as I will make it) a surround, now my problem is how do I work out how big the surround should be and is there any hard and fast rules regarding the size. Thank you for reading this and I hope someone can help me. Oh by the way I am from Melbourne Australia.
