I'm making this for an Italian Greyhound Rescue fundraiser silent auction item. I'm trying to make it entirely from scraps. It will be decorative throw sized (about 50 x 60). The applique pattern and the pillow pattern is from Darcy Ashton's book, Darling Little Dogs. The quilt is a work in progress because I'm making it up as I go, which I regret. I started the piecing without a real plan. An amateur decision!! I'm struggling and decided I would post the mess and see if I'm going in a good direction. I want this to be a fantastic little quilt that will cause a bidding war at the auction. Some people will buy anything with an Italian Greyhound on it. But I hope that it comes out pretty enough to cause a fight over it. :-)

Pillow is done. Cute enough, but no WOW factor. Quilt top has me agonizing over every decision. Next time, I won't start without a pattern and colorway nailed down!
