You will recall, that back in October, I gifted best friend Samantha and her husband with a quilt for their 25th wedding anniversary.
That quilt was made with a lot of snowballing (sewing squares on corners and cutting away the excess). The cutoff pieces were too big to throw away, so as I was working, I sewed all the cut off bits together and tossed them in a tub, to be used up at a later date.
That later date came after Christmas. I set to work trimming them up all up for HSTs.
The result was a nice-sized pile of 2.5″ HSTs.
Then it was simply a matter of sewing those HSTs together….
I took a couple afternoons, sewing a few rows together each time. And before long…
…I had a nice little top, perfect for a cat! Or in this case, a dog…
As this one will be quilted for Sam’s beagle, Calibre. (Sorry Burton!)

I’d have a very hard time giving that to the pup. I LOVE everything about it. The color, the pattern. That pattern is one I’ve always wanted to do. I just love the look of all those HST together. It takes real talent to get them to line up so beautifully.

That is such a beautiful little quilt!!! I love the way you used your fabrics (which are so pretty). I have some smaller offcuts that have been waiting for inspiration to strike. Your project just might get me started with those.
