scottie dogs, top completed


Scottie Dogs

top completed 2024
68 by 62 inches

48 blocks set 6 across and 8 down
Block finishes 5 by 6 inches
I used Kona Snow for the white

I love my little emotional support scottie dogs! Each was a pleasure to make.

See HERE for my block directions.
See HERE for L sashing overview.

After adding the L sashings, I resolved the top and left blocks so that the pieced center of the quilt would have the sashings all around the field.
The field was constructed in horizontal rows.

I added wide borders, cut 10 inches, from a fabulous Riley Blake plaid print which I plan to use as straight cut binding.
The white of the border is not an exact match to the white of the blocks, and I am ok with that. It makes a good frame and the center glows in contrast.

My design. Use at your pleasure.



Backing from Timesless treasures
