Seeing there are so many animal lovers in our quilting world, I wanted to share a quilt I made for my son-in-law.

He had scoffed when I made a quilt for my daughter to snuggle on the couch with in winter, but it wasn't long before he announced that her quilt was far too short for his 6'5" length. Not long after, they brought home a new puppy that "Dad" was besotted with so his Christmas present that year was a Puppy Quilt. I included as much doggy fabric as I could find and photos of the new puppy as well as their older dog. It was a very scrappy type quilt that just evolved as I found fabrics and lots of fun to do. He just loves it - and so does puppy :!: :D

That is tooo cute!

What a great quilt! Not being a pet owner (other than fish), it's easy to forget how much some people love their pets. I think most animal lovers would love a quilt like that. :)

Great quilt.

That's a great quilt. It's easy to see why he loves it.

This quilt is so nice. I know about men and thier quilts. They just love them. Your pictures really made this one personal. I like it, it is very nice.

What a wonderful quilt!!! I bet he does really love it!!! :D :D

Very nice. I like it. :D

Great quilt. You should get a photo of SIL and pup cuddled together in it. I'll bet that they do.

That looks great an a assum job done on all of it.

Very cute and I love looking at all the different blocks! Great job!

I made my SIL one for Christmas last year, because my daughter said he was always stealing hers, and she wanted it back!! LOL

Yes they do both cuddle up in it along with another puppy addition to the family. I will try to get a photo of them all.

Here's a closeup of doting dad and baby Bella.

Oh Katier825 FISH ARE GREAT PETS TOO! I have a tropical tank inside and a pond outside. I can spend hours just watching them, especially sitting in the sun beside the pond with a cuppa. My son has a marine reef aquarium and enjoys scuba diving and I am collecting fabric for a sea/fish/scuba diving quilt for him.

Here is one of the photos he took while scuba diving that I have printed onto fabric for his quilt.

Ashley and his Bella make a cute couple! She is adorable! That is indeed agret quilt for a tall guy!

What a great quilt!

cool! :D

That is so cute. What a great and original idea. I can see why he would love it. Great job.

Oh how cute!

Yeah men sometimes act like they don't want one of their own, but then if you make them one they love it and use it! :lol:

I love your quilt. It's so colorful and cozy looking!

What a great and wonderful personalized quilt!!! Good Job :D :D :D

Great idea. Love the originality. I really like this.

What's not to love with that? Ha, I guess even at 6'5, your never too big for your own quilt! :lol:

Well the first snow fall just hit cedar city ut and our dog is still adjusting to the the cold temps so you have just given me a great idea...yours turned out really nice...nice job!

Love the scrappy look of your puppy quilt. Great job!

Great job!! I would love to see a picture of him enjoying it.

Great quilt!!!

I love that quilt!!! I have been looking for a pattern like that. What pattern did you use or did you just come up with your own design.

Hi mmay - I didn't have a pattern in mind at all. I printed off the pics I had of my SIL and their pup and found as much dog related fabric as I could and just started making up blocks.

As I went I added on to some blocks, joined some together and filled in strips to bring sections up to equal sizes.

It all just evolved in a very scrappy way.

Have fun making your quilt and I would love to see pics of it when you have finished.

Beautiful! I wish someone would make me one like that!
