Dog Gone Cute Quilt

Hello everyone!

So I am currently at Starbucks listening to my lecture but it so happens that it's on a subject I'm pretty decent at so I decided to catch up on all of my projects and put them onto this blog!

For today I have the Dog Gone Cute quilt designed by Sew Fresh Quilts! I believe there was a quilt along a couple of months ago but at that time I don't think I had my sewing machine!

I'm actually following the dogs as it shows in the the quilt along! So far I only have three dogs!

Originally when I started making these dogs I told myself that my dogs will be gray and brown but... once I made my first dog, I wanted to make the dogs all sorts of colors!

The dog below is the first dog I've ever made. and I was instantly addicted! I'm not sure which block this would be on the quilt but I was just going in order of how it presented on the pattern! This dog looks like a Jack Russel Terrier!!


The second dog I made is a little gray one with a eye patch!  At first I didn't like how the gray looked on him but as I kept looking at him, the more I fell in love with him!


The third dog I made over this past weekend! He's a red dog! In some places, he doesn't really line up but I still like him anyways! Next time I'll just have to be more careful with the seams and what not.  I was really worried that I would not like him at all because I was actually hesitant to make a red dog but he looks great! 


Based on my current progress, I think I'll probably make one dog every weekend.  I think I have about nine dogs left to make to complete this quilt, which means it may take a little over two months to complete.  I definitely want to be finished before then.

I also wish that I would have used a slightly patterned white fabric instead of a solid! I love patterned fabric but I guess a solid really pulls everything together.

That's it for now! I'll have more posts soon!

Joann's Haul: 11/21/15

Currently watching: Grey's Anatomy

So earlier this week as I was procrastinating I came upon a really cute quilt I want to make that doesn't have a video tutorial! Shocker! Isn't it? The quilt I found is from the blog Sew Fresh Quilts who is ran by a lovely individual named Lorna! I have been subscribe to her blog for a short amount of time but I instantly fell in love with her adorable patterns! The quilt I came upon is called Dog Gone Cute!

Well anyways, I ended up purchasing the quilt pattern as well as some fabric for the future quilt! Now a quick disclaimer, I have no clue what the names of the fabric are.  I know I'm absolutely terrible but the names were not provided on the fat quarters that I purchased and I forgot to look at the name on the bolt! I know.. I'm terrible.

I wanted to make the dogs gray and tan/brown! When I was purchasing the fabric, I think I had like 20 minutes before I had to get out of the store and go to work with my next client! Here's the fat quarters I got!

The black fat quarter is for the nose and the pink is for the ears of the dog! I hope when I finally start working on it, the quilt doesn't look too crazy! I'm just a sucker for patterned fabric!

I also found this gorgeous blue fabric for the borders of the fabric! I wanted it to look like the sky! So I thought the little birdies really topped it all off!


 Surprisingly, that's the end of this haul! Like I said, I didn't really have time to look around as much as I usually do!
