I'm so excited!
 

I started this quilt for my son's girlfriend. As I got it sandwiched, they broke up (they had been together for 2+ years). I think my dog new about the news without being told, as she immediately took the quilt as her own. I would have given it away if she hadn't taken it over.
This quilt is loaded with mistakes, I hate the fabric, and I tortured myself about binding it. On the upside, it is the first quilt I have ever done!!! I love it!
By the way, my son was more worried about telling me they broke up since I had been making the quilt for her, then he was about the break up. He already has a new girlfriend.

Better now than after the wedding! Glad to see it isn't going to waste, will be loved. Linda

See your dog has good taste!

very nice quilt! you could keep it for the next one!

I like it!!!

Well, just consider it a "learning experience" for both you and your son!!!

I've been told dogs are colorblind, but I don't believe it. Your dog knows it is a pretty quilt. why not take it over! LOL

Dog looks happy!

hehe. the dog has good taste. lets hope your son has as good a taste in girl friends. that is the nice thing about quilts. you don't know who they are going to until they are done and handed out.

Your doggie is adorable and from where I sit, your quilt looks great!!!

All's well that ends well. Puppy looks happy on that beautiful quilt!

I think your Quilt looks wonderful and as it is your very first quilt you said I would keep it , and that way years from now you will have your first one to look back upon ..

What a sweet dog and a pretty quilt.
Lucky doggie! :-)

Quilt looks great!!! Such a cute dog!!!!

I love the combination of colors you used. It looks great!

better a well-loved and loving dog than an ex-gf! I always quilt my bed quilts so I don't worry about dog paws, etc ruining it. They are so welcome to my quilts!

btw, I really like the quilt and the colors.

great quilt-your doggie will love it

Smart dog!! The quilt is also pretty.

From what I can see of it, it's beautiful! As for "mistakes" . . . I consider them "artistic touches." :thumbup:

Girlfriends come and go but QUILTS last FOREVER!!!!

That was funny/sweet of your son to be so concerned about you making that quilt and the girl friend becoming an ex-gf. Much better having an ex-gf than an ex-wife.

It looks nice - and the dog is adorable.

what a neat story so glad you gave it tp your doggie

Our dogs might be related! LOL I are sewing along and then the fabric isn't moving...uhm...see where he is laying AGAIN! He snuggles down onto the fabric lying by my feet but only when I am using flannel. He loves flannel. I made him his own flannel quilt so he wouldn't do that, and he loves that quilt, but he still likes any new ones I may be working on. LOL Silly dog!

Everything happens for a reason... and that's one smart puppy! Good looking quilt!!

Love it! Cute (and smart) dog. :o I also think your quilt is pretty, bright and cheerful!

I think it's pretty, and obviously the dog does too!

Nice looking quilt and a very perceptive dog!

What a lucky doggie, I like the colors in the quilt.

She lost out but, looks like your dog won. Very pretty quilt and dog.

Nice colors and prints. Love your dog!

I agree with your dog---I love it.

So it was a happy ending after all. You finished your first quilt and the dog loved it, she has good taste.

I hesitate to give any of my son's wives heirlooms or special things as I have done this now 4 times and each time, the marriage didn't stick and now all the ex's have china, silverware, jewelery and furniture from our family and I have no idea where it is....I even made quilts for 3 of them...oh well I guess it's just "stuff" and life goes on.

looks nice to me!

I love the quilt, but I think the puppy loves it more. The quilt is really pretty. Dogs have a 6th sense that people don't have. He knows what he likes and wants!!!

Looks like the Dog enjoys it more!! Animals are more preceptive than you realize!! Congrate on your first quilt! Looks good!

great job - can't believe it's your first quilt

That is a wonderful quilt. The precious pup knew you made it with love so she wanted to still keep it in "the family" by claiming it as hers. Had you already made your dog her own special quilt? Or did she just get tired of waiting, saw a great opportunity and seized this bright happy quilt as her own? Sounds like she a smart one!!
