I was going to call the SPCA because your doggie looks so forlorn and after looking at all that beautiful work you did I just know you had to not be giving it all the love it needs/wants (when do they ever get that!), but s/he is so beautifully groomed I decided they probably wouldn't respond.
Kidding aside, you have created one of the most beautiful quilts ever! Your technique can't be perfect but I'll never know; to me it is all incredible. I've copied the sites you, aaah, cited, and intend to study them all. I did an 8' square quilt with quilted applique all over it and DH held the part I wasn't working on while I jerked my head right or left and he swung the quilt this way or that. What a hoot. It turned out so heavy we decided we couldn't put it on the bed so we hung it. Not the best planned endeavor, but we love it. You give me new horizons to explore! Beautiful!
