March Block

This is the Saturday Sampler block for March.

Doghouse sample

This is the sample I made for the Book Club.  It's the Karen Montgomery companion pattern for the book club.  The pattern is called House and Home.  I'm not sure if I want to make the table runner or not so I just worked on the houses.  I used leftover Minick & Simpson fabrics.

A cute little top

This was the other half of a Karen Montgomery sample.  I plan to bind it with the striped fabric that I cut on the bias.

A "normal" block

It felt so good to stitch this block.  I felt like I was doing something "normal" after the dogs quilt.  LOL

And it's a top

One of my goals for the weekend was to get the borders on this quilt.  And here it is!  It is nearly a square quilt, the length is about two inches shorter than the width.  I'm proud of it as it was a lot of work to get the dogs all facing the correct direction!  Now I need to piece some minky for the backing. . .

After this is quilted and bound, I plan to snuggle with it on the sofa-with my dog!

A stop border. . .

I was going to add a 2.5 inch stop border but had a re-think and went for 1.5.  It will finish at 1 inch which feels right.  I still need to cut and add the dog border fabric. The stop border is a little ruffly so I may need to re-do it.
