Did you follow the Dog Gone Cute quilt along and blog hop with Lorna at Sew Fresh Quilts? I know you could pick up some free patterns and great tutes while the hop was on, but I loved this pattern so much that I bought it. And I sewed along!
I used some of my deconstructed flannel shirts for my pups. Kona White for accents and Kona Ash for the back ground. I used the large block set 2 by 3 for a baby quilt.
I used a CT cotton thread in silver grey for the top and a beige for the back. Just a free motion wave with my walking foot to quilt it.
I used a paw print ultra fleece for the back and Quilter's Dream ultra-select batt - a nice cuddly finish and it keeps the quilt from sliding off baby and the crib. The binding is a scrap from stash - black with multi-color paw prints. It gave a nice little pop of color to frame it all off.
Finished size after a wash and dry: 44.5" x 46.5"
Pop over and visit the linky party.
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

Love this Sharon, the shirt fabric is perfect for those cute little faces.
Darling! I've never used fleece for the back but think that it would be soooooo cuddly! Nice job!
This was such a fun pattern. I love your take on it. Sounds so super cuddly.
How Cute! (I'm a dog person). Great use for those old plaid shirts.

I love the plaid puppies!
Very sweet! Clever to repurpose flannel shirts to make a warm and cozy quilt!
Oh wow! These look great in flannel shirts, great finish!

Those cute puppies on the quilt look so soft and cuddly! Great use of flannel shirts!
Oh my goodness - I just purchased this pattern last week! Thank you for the hint about using the fleece for the backing.
