Nice . . . if you hang a sheet from it, it could serve as a design wall too.

What kind of dog is it? Watsons mom?

Thank you. Watson was a Yorkshire Terrier and was the love of my life. He had cancer, that's why his leg is bandaged. He is gone now and I keep his picture here to keep me from missing him too much. My friend has an Australian Terrier and she just loves him.

wow, great idea, I'd thought about the pipe but it would be a pain to put up and take down, I'm putting this on my wish list!

Can you post the instructions? I would like to make one too & not too good at figuring things like that out. Thank you!

I found this stand on amazon.com. It will expand to 12' wide and 10' high. It comes in a good quality case with a carrying strap. It adjusts easily and has tripods on the uprights. I did have some trouble setting it up with a big quilt, on the grass, on a somewhat windy day (attached picture - DH is holding one pole steady) - but on a flat surface, without the wind, it will work great.

(Yes, you've already seen this quilt - but I'll bet you've never seen such a good picture of it!)

The backdrop is really cool. Thanks for sharing. Also the quilt is gorgeous. I think I have seen it in one of your posts but like you said not like this.
