| "The Naughty Little Puppy Quilt" .... a Dog Gone Cute pattern |
Welcome to the last day of the Dog Gone Cute Blog Hop! It is my turn to share with you what I made from the new Dog Gone Cute pattern! I could not resist joining in to make these adorable puppy blocks, even though I have a kitty cat and no dogs. ("Someone" does not play well with other pets!!)

Batting: Warm and Natural
Backing:
I used the remaining border fabric for the backing. It was "stretched out" to fit the width, by adding the center strip with pieces of the leftovers and the remaining puppy block!
I also added a little applique' paw print . I was inspired by the beautiful quilt by Doris, of Quilting Queen Online blog. (see here ) It reminded me of a paw mark that has been imprinted into wet cement... a mischievous puppy does something like that!

The center block is the Mama Dog. Mama doggy is 12 " by 18 " , the larger block size.

I quilted with the walking foot, and this light green Aurifil thread #3320 -from the Color Me Happy collection. I used the wavy stitch, on the largest stitch size, in the sashes and the borders. Each pup shape was outlined with a straight stitch.

My husband also noticed the Disco Dots fabric ( for the border and backing fabrics)... he said it reminded him of tennis balls that a puppy would play with!

| A fun way to use up scraps from the blocks! |
A note about this Sew Fresh Quilt pattern: Lorna's directions are clear and easy to follow! She has excellent diagrams. I loved making the blocks!
