Quilt for our dog groomer
 
4 Attachment(s)
We moved to Michigan from Indiana in January of this year. We were so sad to have to leave our groomer behind. She wasn't just our groomer, she was my friend and co worker as well. We had to go back to Indiana earlier this month for the closing of our old home so I was able to make an appointment to have our dogs groomed one last time. When I made the quilt and gifted it to her in December 2013 we were fostering the Schnoodle so his name didn't get put on the label. We "Foster Failed" and Louie is now part of our family. She brought the quilt in so we could get pictures of her with the little dogs at their last appointment.

I didn't have a pattern but found a picture of a similar quilt on Pinterest. I used 2 Jelly Rolls and 2 Charm Packs of the "Scrumptious" line by Bonnie & Camille for Moda.

Sewnsewer2 here on the board did the fabulous label - Thanks Dawn!!!

Not only a great gift, but very thoughtful, too. Love the label.....I think it is the perfect finish to a perfect quilt. Those critters are gorgeous too.....:) How did you attach the backing to the front? Was it enveloped? Sure is a winner!!

Yes, I did birth the quilt. I have been wanting to do a borderless quilt and this was the perfect pattern to try it with.

The quilt is wonderful. I'm sure your groomer loved it.

The Groomer and the Dogs are just beautiful, and that Quilt I just love it. So are you able to give the sizes you used , I would love to make it, but am still learning so would need cutting sizes please.

Each block consisted of a 5" charm square, 2- 2 1/2" x 5" strip and 2- 2 1/2" x 9" strip. I sewed the 5" strips to opposite sides of the charm square and then applied the 9" strip to the top and bottom. Eazy Peazy!!!
