My First Quilt

So a while back I saw this tutorial for a kids sleeping bag; I shared it as a WIP a couple months ago.  While I don't have a child, I do have a dog that is need of a new bed.  I also happened to have all of the materials on hand, and really wanted my first quilt to be stress free (i.e. if I mess up it won't matter, cuz well he's a dog).

It's not perfect but I think it's pretty cute.  It might be a little effeminate but again he's a dog and I like the colors quite a bit.  Like most minpins, the beast  loves to borrow so I thought a sleeping bag would be great.  For now I think it will stay a quilt cause it's terribly hot in Florida right now and the (lazy) beast loves to sprawl all over it.


Check out the back.

I choose to do sets of three lines in a square, getting wider and wider in the center.  

The (snuggly) beast seems to love it.  He plopped down on it as soon as I gave it to him and when I took it out for photos he wouldn't let me get a picture without him in it.

Day 34

So excited.  
This is a huge accomplishment for the (stubborn/hyper) beast.

Day 9

Check out this awesome leaf-leg bug

Well, today I also went to Craft Night.  It's a weekly crafting social that my friends and I do.  It's lots of fun.  I started working on a flower and scrub jay  project (more on that some other time).  And Zimbo was nice enough to share some of his art with me.  

It did take some convincing, but I am super pumped to get this framed and put up.  

Also, I (finally) got my Christmas present from the fella this week.

The (adorably) awkward beast

Yellow lattice, organic cotton sheets.  They are very soft and are a nice buttercup yellow.  So lovely and practical.

Day 5

School officially starts tomorrow.  :/ had to get some R coding done.  

My dog is a cat and loves to put his head right on what I'm doing. 

Impromptu date with the fella :)
