'Puppy Pause' Quilt Finished

 Two-year-old grandson Arnold's 'Puppy Pause' quilt is all finished.  It measures 58" x 70".  I designed it in EQ8.  The batting is Quilters' Dream 80/20.  The pantograph is called 'Dog Treats'.

Quilting Done, Puppy Pause

 I just finished quilting Puppy Pause.  I have just enough time to cut the binding before our evening church service. The red stripe is the backing.

Second Row Quilted, Puppy Pause

 






First Row Quilted, Puppy Pause

 The first row of Puppy Pause is quilted. Look at all the seams in the batting! Good thing batting is stretchy and smooshable, and good thing there are lots of seams in the quilt top, to camouflage the seams in the batting! (The batting is not overlapped, and I used a 9mm zigzag, so it will not be detected.)

Nine-Patches

 All 72 three-inch 9-patches are done, 18 of each variety, using up nearly all of the puppy print and paw print fabrics.  In fact, few patches had to be pieced.  Now to sew them together to make the next border.
