Spoiled Dog!

A friend of mine gave me a quilt kit for my birthday. The fabrics had dogs, paws, and bones on them. Since Sadie's blanket she sleeps with was looking a little raggedy, I decided to make the quilt for her. The blanket that Sadie had been sleeping with was an old Care Bear sleeping bag I gotten for Christmas on year when I was a kid. She had chewed one corner when she was still in the crate, and I don't think she really like the zipper. The kit made a quilt that was 30.5X36 inches, but I added some other fabrics to make it bigger. Here you can see the finished top layer of the quilt...

Julio suggested that I use the Care Bear blanket because Sadie loves it so much. What I did was put right sides together and then sew around the outside. After that I cut the access fabric off and turned it inside out.


Instead of quilting it, I decided to tie the quilt.




As you can see Sadie enjoyed her warm new quilt last night.
