Before I left on my vacation, I received a commission to make a quilt for a young child from one of my tennis buddies. (She had bought my Texan Cowboys quilt last year). I showed her only a few patterns to limit her choice and within my quilting 'limits' LoL. She immediately chose this one, which is a pattern by Pat Varney for Diamond Textiles and wanted the same colour ways as in the magazine. The pattern was for a square quilt and my friend Mary wanted a rectangle so I added strips top and bottom. It is my quilt name. Pat called it Dog World Quilt. As I do not have children/grandchildren myself, this was a different project for me! It was really fun to make. The ears and tails of the dogs are sewn into the seams and hang free, then tacked into different positions. I have Judy in Maine (rctq) to thank for helping me find the background fabric. I had about given up finding a white background. Thank you Judy! It is so cute, that fabric. The prairie points are my first effort at those.
