Newfoundland Quilt Block
 

I have been hunting for a Newfoundland Dog block for over a year now. I really dislike appliqué which was all I could find and because of the black on black nature had no idea how to conquer it myself. Last year my bff jokingly said her newf was jealous when I gave her a quilt featuring chihuahua’s which also live in her household, since then I have been contemplating a newf quilt. I had finally decided to make her a bookshelf quilt with a picture of one of her newf’s on a shelf.

Much to my surprise I opened an email from “Seriously I Think it Needs Stitches” and found myself looking at the Newf of my dreams......OK it was really Fang from Harry Potter but if I skipped the teeth it would be a Newf. https://www.kellifanninquilts.com/ I made my first block this afternoon.......the plan is 5 Newf blocks and 4 red flower type to make a quilt. Christmas present figured out!

Here is a Newf Block! In real life the grey is much darker......

That's very clever!!!

it looks great and clever of you to adjust it for your needs

Cute block. It was great that you were able to adapt a different block to make the one you've been searching for.

Simply awesome!

Nice. Post how you use it in a finished quilt item.

I love it!! But then I also love newf's! One breed of dog I never had but always wanted. I got a great big smile at this block. I am sure you bff's newf will love it.

Very nice and you certainly are creative. Great workmanship

He 's one handsome fellow, your Newf. I look forward to viewing the completed quilt top.:p
