I couldn't resist two blue doggy fabrics when I found them at Joann's this spring. The fabrics aren't very good quality (no surprise), just doggone cute. I wish there was more contrast between the two fabrics, but I don't think the recipient will mind.
I chose my favorite dog in the group, found a similar fabric, and created the large applique for the center block.
I have the quilt about 75% quilted now, and I sure wish my FMQ around the applique was much better!!! Oh well.
One picture shows a close-up of the original spotted blue dog.

Cute quilt!!!

That is so cute. It could be for a girl or boy. It seems that so many quilts are geared to girls. This is a good one.

That is just too cute. Some little guy is really going to love it.

It was a neat idea to take the dog and make an applique of it! Really cool quilt!

I was just looking at that material and thought of using in my denim circle a few minutes ago, just thought it was weird I logged on here and saw your quilt. It's very cute. This is my first posting and I am like most of the quilters here, I spend too much time on this site instead of quilting but I get alot of ideas and resources. Thank you all.

That is just tooo cute. I have some dog material from walmart that I fell in love with. It is similar but yet different. I haven't done anything with it yet because I didn't know WHAT to do make with it. Thats if you don't mind me using your idea! ;)

How adorable is that!

nana pat 08-08-2010 10:29 PM

good job enlarging that dog. Your quilt looks good enough to cuddle under. :lol:

GrammaNan 08-09-2010 05:09 AM

Absolutely adorable. This is a beautiful quilt. I think it will turn in to an heirloom for whomever gets it.

nannya54 08-09-2010 02:14 PM

Isn't that just the cutest! How fun. And you did a great job.

kwiltkrazy 08-09-2010 02:26 PM

so creative, and its adorable. One thing for sure it will be loved. And the next time you do some quilting it will be better. The answer is practice, practice, and practice.

clem55 08-09-2010 04:01 PM

Love it!!

Where did you find this fabric?

CherokeeGal 08-09-2010 07:52 PM

I Love it! I have some of this fabric & will try this one, too! There will be some "Lucky" little person who will love to receive this Quilt!

sewnsewer2 08-09-2010 07:53 PM

Awww, that's really cute! :)

Emjay 08-09-2010 07:55 PM

Does anyone have any of this fabric anywhere? The part that says "fetch" is what I want. I have not seen it anywhere in my location. Thnx.

Danni,
I wouldn't consider it my idea....anybody might have done it! Please post yours when you get around to it!

"Where did you find this fabric?"

Emjay, I found it at Joann's....they also had it in pink, but I thought the blue was much cuter. It was just this spring....maybe you can still find it out there.
I find it much more difficult to find fabrics for boys than girls, I like to try to keep the boys in mind when I'm doing the charity quilts.
