I have a new nephew. He’s about 6 lbs, chocolate brown, furry and he came from the Houston Humane Society. My sister Lori adopted him last Saturday. I haven’t met him yet, but I love him already. I even made him a quilt to welcome him into the family.
A Heather Ross dog quilt for a dog. Seems fitting. This is my favorite block:
It’s backed with chenille so Oliver will stay nice and warm while napping on the sofa. After being homeless on the streets of Houston, I think he deserves some spoiling.
Moose tested it out for Oliver, just to make sure it’s nice and soft.
I think that’s approval, don’t you?

A absolutely love how you quilted this! Beautiful. Was it difficult to quilt with the chenile? It doesn’t look like it caused problems, and it would definately add a comfy feel to any quilt.
what a great quilt! i love the idea of making one for a sweet little dog using precious Heather Ross fabric
And the quilting sure looks wonderful, too!

I am a beginner quilter. i’ve only done 3 baby quilts thus far, and i am in the process of making my first full sized (9 square) quilt. I have the quilt sandwich done and ready to be quilted, but im not sure that im prepared to do true free motion quilting….So getting to my point, I love the way you’ve quilted “Olivers Quilt”. id love to know how you did it exactly. would it be possible to get a similar effect using a walking foot? If you have a moment i would really appreciate a couple tips! thanks so much! LOVE your work!
Thanks, tiffany
