I had so very little of the blue fabric with the dogs, I knew I had to cut carefully. I messed up. I honestly don't remember the first cut I did but it was wrong! So back to the drawing table.....or EQ. I had to salvage what I could so I recut the blue first to 7 1/2" x 7 1/2". I couldn't get the nine patch to that size so I went back to an old favourite.
The borders were going to give me grief, but ~~ I did it.
I made all the blocks. I figured out the cutting of the "stripe" block on EQ because I didn't want to muck up anymore. I placed it on the wall and very carefully took the first two rows to the sewing machine and strip pieced it.
It took awhile to get this done, but I managed to have it completed by about 3:00 in the afternoon. I did take some stops along the way.
There are a few choices for pantographs out there, but there isn't one that I like the puppies on. Not one!! There is one called Puppy Snacks on Urban Elementz but I opted for
Champagne! It looks like balls and what dog doesn't like to play with a ball. Both our dogs loved their tennis balls. The thread? Well, that was fun. This is a very odd coloured fabric but King Tut worked
and then it was all done.
Look out Buddy there are dogs on that quilt
I added bits of the dog fabric to the border fabric for the binding. I just stretched that woof/bone fabric a little bit
