Here is baby quilt #3 for 2014 ~ This baby quilt is about 38x38
It is hard to see the puppy in the corner squares.
I fussy cut the puppies from a piece of flannel that was extra from a backing. The beige fabric has rabbits on it. My granddaughter quilted this one for me, she is 13. She wanted to try a more complex freehand quilting pattern and then we decided that she should just try some waves and practice keeping the spacing pretty even between the rows. She did a pretty good job. Guess I am going to have to load some muslin and let her practice whatever she wants!
The puppy blocks are 3 inches squares and the strips were cut at 2 inches. I had just enough red paw print fabric with about 1 inch left over that went into my string bin.
It is much cuter in person. This quilt is being saved until I find an local organization to donate it to.

That is so cute -- I love the rabbits and those fussy cut puppies in the corners. Thanks for linking up!
This is is very cut, love the fussy cut pups. Your grand daughter did a super job!
The fussy cut pups are adorable!!!!! What a great hobby to have in common with your grandaughter! (My aunt got me started as a quilter and I'll never forget her buying me my first cutting board and rotary cutter!!)
I LOVE it!!! My little one is really into dogs - what a great idea.
So cute! Love this quilt... a (fussy cut) puppy in the corner. The pattern is close to "Puss in the Corner", a pattern from the old days, so it's kind of a pun, too. Brilliant!
Hugs
