If you leave the dogs pointing in different directions, you can use the quilt both ways. If your quilt defintely has a top and a bottom, then position the dog faces accordingly. I think either works for me. Cute quilt. Arf, arf!

Dogs pointing down. Try appliqueing some dogs spilling onto the border, maybe a collie, then you'd have a border collie!

I don't think it is too busy. I just love it. Wish it were mine.I do like the dogs facing down though. Just beautiful. I have seen these fabrics before and now I see how wonderful they make in a quilt. Thanks
