I also thought pay prints, dog bones and dog items would be cute.

Great ideas I have nothing to add! Beautiful now and I'm sure will be stunning when finished!

my head went to the same place as many others - why not do a paw print in the center of the star and do a continuous milk bone in the sashing. I might alter their sizes doing a fairly large milk bone and then a small one then back to the large one, etc. Just to give interest. I prefer to have my quilting simple so would simply add SITD around the start points and the circles around the dogs.

Love the ideas. I am not an artist, so, where would I find a paw print pattern, and a milk bone. On doing the milk bone, would I do loop-de-loops, between the bones?

google images of these or google images of Paw print clip art or dog biscuit clip art. Then you can print out, enlarge as needed and trace
