Patches and Puppies

Welcome to this week's TGIFF link party. Your chance to celebrate that great feeling which comes with finishing a project or two!


Regular readers will know that recently I have been stitching away for the gorgeous new man in my life and today's finish is no exception :)

I mentioned last month that I had been trying out a New to Me method of constructing nine patch blocks courtesy of Generations Quilt Patterns and this is what they were destined for.



I found the delightful doggy fabric at the closing down sale of a LQS before our move and knew instantly that it would be perfect for a quilt for that new little man. I couldn't make up my mind how to use it until a fellow quilter recently suggested intersecting fussy cut blocks with co-ordinating nine patch blocks and that light bulb went off in my head!

With only 1m of the doggy fabric it was a real brain teaser making sure that I had enough fussy cut blocks without having to resort to blocks of half a dog here and there, but thankfully it all worked out in the end without any poor half-cut pooches making up the numbers :)

I have some lovely linen in similar colours that I am thinking of using for the back but that is another day's work.


Now it is your turn to link up your fabulous finishes, grab that button and include a link back to the TGIFF party in your post so your readers can find us and join the party too!
