Maybe if you had used a different fabric the dog would have left it alone. lol You are a good grandma for making a quilt for the grand-dog.

I started pinning last night. Wish she wanted a "standard" quilt. But I started and I will finish.

Now that I watched the tutorial by Rose Ludlow I am not sure if I want to cut my backing squared down a bit more. Right now I have them at 4" with a 5" front piece. Think,think,think....

I made a queen size biscuit quilt, and the recipient loves it. But it is the only and last one I will make. I didn't even overfill my pillows but they get hard to sew together the more rows I added. Pretty but not pretty enough to make it something I want to do again.

A small one might be a lot easier to do, though.

Haven't made one since before there was an internet. I just remember having to carefully pin the tucks.

I have made several. I sew three sides, then add another set, and just keep sewing three sides assembly line fashion. I do not cut them apart, I just leave a little thread (1/4" )between each of them. When I have long strings of them sewn, I start at the end again and add a little stuffing/wadding to each square and then sew the fourth edge of each one closed. Now, if you were organized when you made the puffs, you can leave them attached to each other and sew the rows, otherwise, cut them apart and sew them in the proper order. {After the first one, I discovered that it was much easier to make 9 patch units, then when they were all in 9 patches, I start putting them in proper rows, sew two rows together, for all 9 patches, then sew all the double rows together, until you get to the long center seam, where you will have to probably use a few pins, or wrestle it into submission (lol!)to help with getting the last seam done.} i have seen where you work with long pieces to make the rows, but that would not work for me, because I would spend way too much time trying to get all the tucks even all the way across, but that is just me.

FYI- Do not waste money buying a cheap stuffing/wadding, you want one that will not matt or flatten. You want the poofiest you can find. Cheap stuffing/wadding will go flat with use, and become unsightly after a few washings. Instead of fluffy poofs, you will have flattened knobs. Ask me how I learned this....lol!

if you get stuck, just PM me and I will be there for you.

I used the method shown on the site www.awaitingada.com. It worked wonderfully. I used left over fabric to put a flat quilted border on before the ruffle...one thing....it is really heavy when it's done....more something to lie ON than Under -- which is how my 1 yr old DGD uses hers....Here's that one ....Good luck with yours.[ATTACH=CONFIG]524884[/ATTACH]

What a pretty quilt Penni. I hope mine turns out half as good.

Here's a picture of the one I made for my great niece. I would not recommend using this fabric. It was awful to work with. I made a cut and then vacuumed, made a cut then vacuumed! I got the directions off the cuddle fabric website but the instructions regarding sewing all 4 sides and cutting the slit in the back sounds much easier.

Hi

Here is a pic of a puff quilt that I made to put on top of my granddaughters pram. It was really easy. Just used 3.5" and 4"squares. My daughter has been stopped in the street by people asking here where she bought the puff quilt..... She is very happy to tell people it is a "one of a kind - hand made item" - LOL LOL LOL. As long as it is not used in a cot or placed over a young baby, I am sure it would be fine.
