I'll still have enough squares to make my child sized quilt so don't really have to have that square.[ATTACH=CONFIG]578832[/ATTACH]
    This is adorable!

    You could also print a picture of their pup on fabric OR done it professionally by Spoonflower although that is probably more expensive.

    I did send the picture to someone on ebay to print out.. and I have it already. It looks great..but printing pictures on fabric have that feel to them. not as cuddly

    that is why Monika's idea catches my eye.. but not sure I want to learn and try something new

There is a learning curve, but I have been very happy with it and the recipients love the labels. (So far, that is all I have used it for, but I can see it for so much more.)
    Do the colors fade with repeated washing?

    No fading with the solar dye. My photos don't do it justice. check out the website.
