King Charles Spaniel quilt for an Australian relative. The pattern is Dash from the Easy Peasy book by Fabric Cafe. It is 44 by 58 inches, for a sofa or end of bed quilt. I will back in Art Gallery fabric and bind it in the orange. Instead of using Fabric 2 for the squares I used an accent colour. Dog fabrics are Timeless Treasures, white on white lacquer print is John Louden and the rust stripe is Camelot. I quilted it in cream Gutermann thread edge stitched each side of every seam, which sews through the blocks.
I donated or recycled three quilts recently (first baby quilt, Halloween, leaf) and the next two are birthday gifts. After the urgents, I want to make a cute and quick Easter inspired quilt with chickens and chicks, or lambs in peaceful blues and whites, for the dogs to sleep on.
This quilt I pieced on one weekend and really enjoyed it, it was cool finding a fabric with text on it that is made for adults, and the large blocks show off the dogs. I didn't need to fussy cut them at all, the baby quilt took longer to cut because the pieces were smaller and I wanted to select the black poodles mostly, and this quilt is perfect for directional prints.
