I've been meaning to make our dog Lottie a new quilt in ages. Her old one, despite repairs has worn through in many places. I recently wrote a feature in my Sewing World Final Thread column all about subscription boxes (it's in the current April issue) and Amy and Angela at My Sewing Box kindly sent me a dog themed box as an example of what they put together on their one-off gift boxes. I mixed some of those fabrics with some similar colours from my stash, plus some precious Heather Ross dog fabric, and using a Fancy Tiger Double Star Quilt pattern from a Creative Bug class and stitched her up a little quilt.
Simple quick construction. Wide lines of echo quilting, an extra quilted star in the middle and a hand quilting star in Aurifil 12wt in the centre. Finished size of around 40" square. Lottie is very happy with it and quickly identified it as her quilt and I enjoy having her and the quilt sat on my lap.
Lottie is so cute and I just love the quilt you made for her, with the double star - look at her eyes glow :)!
