Welcome to the Dog Patch!

I have three finished quilts to share today!  Yeah for finishes!  This first one I will call Dog Patch, I love the gray and orange combo in these two quilts.  They were fat quarter bundles that I added orange and gray to to make two charity quilts.  I am pretty sure some little guy will love his puppy quilt and I hope it brings a bit of comfort amist whatever turmoil he is going through.

 

 Close-up of quilting details.  I quilted this one "DogPatch" with the pantograph Dandy from Super Simple Collection.  I am really liking many of these pantographs and the charity quilts give me lots of reason to test new ones out.  I quilted it in a slate gray that matches the backing and some of the "patches".

 Okay I admit it...I HEART STRIPES!  I love them as binding.  I really love this faux piped binding, whoa, it makes binding a quilt a breeze, plus it is all machine sewn down which make me feel really good since these little quilts will see the washing machine ALOT!

Washed and folded quilt...nothing better!

 I used a solid slate gray on the back, not my first choice but I couldn't find anything else to match and I really wanted a gray tone on the back.  I did the same on the next one also which I call "Dog Daze".

 Very similar to the first but it doesn't have a pieced border...whew, that made it a bit faster in construction.

 The quilting is hard to see, but it is the Fracture pantograph.  Also in the slate gray thread.

 Again Faux binding!  Will I ever be able to hand bind a quilt again?  This picture makes the binding look cheddar...love cheddar but it IS really orange.

 AND the washed and folded quilt, ready to be mailed.

 Little Forest Friends is a gift.  It is for the newest addition to the extended Clayton family.  Last week our Nephew and his wife welcomed their first baby, a little boy to their family.  We are excited and happy for them.  This will go in the mail today, off to cover the precious new addition.

 I did the back in an overall print flannel.  It is so soft and will be nice for the cold winters where they live.

 Used a bone colored thread (hard to find in large spools) to quilt.  I used the oak leaf pantograph, wasn't too sure about it but I like how it turned out.  (Thanks Aimee)  Also....see the stripes!  And the faux binding...loved how it looks!

Washed and folded ready for delivery.  Congratulations Beaux and Rainey!
