Pix: "Love Your Dog Today" Quilt

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.

Thanks ladies for all the nice comments, appreciate it. It would be a great quilt to auction for a charity wouldn't it? It will get shipped off in the next day or two.
