Yesterday I finished the hand work I was doing the other day when I posted. \ud83d\ude42 Remember these blocks<\/a>, begun during a visit from my quilting buddy? The quilt is now finished, though it ended up being too wide (23″ x 37″) for the wall I’d hoped to hang it on. Drat. Oh well.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The “problem” was that the cocker puppy, which I simply had<\/b> to use, of course, because of our own cocker, Bisou, was a horizontal block instead of the vertical blocks of the schnauzer and lab puppies.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

That lab was in memory of Dexter, a lab\/chow mix we used to have and who was the sweetest guy you could imagine.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I used the schnauzer in order to have more than two dogs on the quilt; my sister had a schnauzer, and we also had friends with schnauzers, so that was logical choice.  Once I had all of the blocks finished, they seemed to need a border, so I used the embroidered paw prints for that; they were in the pattern set<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All of the quilting, including the straight lines, was done free motion to facilitate the frequent switching of directions that was necessary. Naturally, I also added the corded piping I like so much next to the binding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
