ALYofF June Dog Themed Quilt is Finished!

 Better late than never I say! I proclaimed in this post  last month to turn this pile of dog themed fabric into a quilt for Jackson. (I know who makes their dog a quilt!) BUT! I have a goal to rid my house of all the old fleece tie blankets laying around and I've been collecting these fat quarters for a few years...so I thought, what the heck!

And you know what! It was fun to just play as I made these wonky, polka dotted stars into this fun sized  38"x58" quilt. It will make the perfect TV room quilt for my little buddy...plus it's big enough to use as a lap quilt so he can snuggle under it with me!

I quilted it using the same dog pantograph I used here. Kinda wierd is the feeling that I almost love the back more than the front! You ever feel that way? I'm certain it's because of that adorable dog print fabric I didn't have the heart to cut up:

And well, I'm sure it's to no one's surprise: Jackson loves it too!
Check out my linky party page above to see where I link up and share each week.
Now onto getting busy meeting my July ALYofF goal. Thanks for stopping by!

With smiles,
Val and Jackson

  2. I have made several little quilts for my cat Val, so you aren't alone! First one was so that I could practice my FMQ - well that was my excuse, anyway.

  4. Jackson is adorable and I love the quilt you made for him! I hope that Romeo, Elvis, and LarryPug don't read your blog because I still need to make quilts for them!

  5. Great quilt and he looks so happy with it. I make quilts for my dog , Stan so you are not alone. He thinks all quilts are for him to be honest xxx

  6. I have never made my dogs a quilt specifically for them, but they have often selected certain quilts as their own. I use quilts as table clothes and there were several that were removed from the table and holes eaten in them where there had been a spill. Of course these quilts with holes are now theirs...

  21. Lucky doggy. I like it when the back of a quilt is as nice as the front.

  25. I haven't made a quilt for my dog, but I found something in a thrift shop for him! It has squares of plaid fabrics pieced together for the top, no batting, and the back was brought around to the front to finish the edges and stitched down by machine. It's on the living room floor and my dog knows it is his!
