Isn't it amazing how our fur babes take over quilts? Around here it started with a wonderful afghan I bought at an estate sale for myself. Our Puggle took it over. So I made another one just for me. That was claimed by our chihuahua - terrier mix. Then I made a couple of quilts for curling up with in the house. Do I need to tell you what happened? One is now in the Puggle's dog bed and the other is the property of the chihuahua mix.

I CAN believe that...but I do find that it's a special feeling when you get to SHARE a quilt with our fur babies, Millie Dog, who is actually my son's dog, comes running as soon as I have a quilt in my arms, waiting for me to sit down so she can get under it, so funny

Not sure if this is OK or not but I found this link for a bunch of scrappy patterns & thought this might be an OK place to post it (hey... maybe it'll produce more scrappy quilt pictures!). Enjoy!

These are some recent scrap quilts I have done. Somehow they always seem to end up going home with someone!

I really like the sashing with scrappy blocks. I'm about to begin a project for a local charity in which I will be making simple clothes for small children as well as receiving blankest. I suspect there will be lots of scraps and it would be really great to use those to make quilts, which are also needed. The sashing gives the scrappy blocks more definition and seems less busy. It is wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
