The animals are just too cute! Yes, we have dog beds all over the house - 2 dogs, 6 dog beds and a quilt (I have all tile floor - they will lay on anything but the tile!) They love it! But no, it hasn't stopped them from coming and laying on the one I'm working on now. . . hmmm, maybe because it is a cat quilt for my cousin's bridal shower (she has 2 cats). Pics of that to follow when I'm done - its looking great so far - just need to finish the binding. Then its on to my first rag quilt - yes, I am addicted!!
