Finished size is 45" x 60". The seams were pressed flat and I used a herringbone stitch and stitched in the ditch to reinforce the seams. I then machine quilted diagonally across the squares. I just might make one for my bed since if the quilt is kid proof it might be dog proof.
I love how your quilt came out and it's a great idea for pet owners who want a quilt that will stand up to dogs toe nails. With some small floral cords you could soften the appearance, for that feminine touch :thumbup: |
very cool.

Never thought of using corduroy in a quilt, but how perfect for a drag-around. Seeing him pull it along will certainly bring smiles, I'm sure.
|
Even if it is "just" a utility quilt, I love the colors and the lush texture of the fabrics.
|
Beautiful warm quilt.

That is so pretty. I have never seen anything like that before but it looks like it would be very practical and yet beautiful.
