Color My Week 2 - The Yellow Challenge

Filed under: craft, fabric

I was browsing a quilting magazine in a newsagent yesterday and I saw this little dog project, I fell in love with it right the way and I wanted to try it out, so it becomes the subject of my Yellow Challenge. I always wanted to make a dog featured quilt but I haven’t found a suitable pattern yet, however this is a simple and quick to make item that will satisfy me for the time being.

I haven’t made many stuff toys but this one prove to be simple and fun to make.

BTW, this is the real life monster that prompted me the idea of making a dog featured quilt - Coco, plus her mum, Flute … although the photos were taken a few months ago and she does look like this anymore….

And here is my second attempt to the Fede + Design + Textile’s Color My Week Challenge, it’s a scarf with soft fleece on one side, and a patchwork of blue cotton fabric strips on the other, I also topped it with some simple free motion quilting.
