I made this from scraps...

well maybe you should get some bones/pigs ears for your dog to chew and eat ,and put the towels in a locked cupboard or up high..nice patchwork

I do try to keep on top of it moggie57, but he's sneaky...
Thanks for the 'nice patchwork' comment. ?

Lovely! That is amazing for a first attempt lizzypopbottle.

How big is it? Could you back it and turn it into a cushion?

Warning:
Don't give your dog pigs' ears, ours was very sick after consuming one and had to be taken to the vet. They may be contaminated with salmonella, apparently.

That is far too nice for the dog to chew lizzypopbottle. unless you find a purpose for it, you should raffle it for your favourite charity?

Beautiful Lizzie, well done you.
I can't sew at all (I give up far too easily) so I really do admire your patience.
Re it's use - what size is it?
(And I'm sure that you know how to take care of Ddog, but it must be a worry for you!)

lizzypopbottle that's beautiful . Love the colours and mix of shapes. I cross stitch but do use a sewing machine to put some pieces together. My latest was a cushion. Posted cross stitch thread. Unfortunately even with a metal ruler can't cut straight lines. But happy with my efforts. Can't wait to see you next patchwork. ?

This is beautiful - I love the colours and am in awe of your talent. Well done!

Really lovely and a first attempt well done.

Gorgeous

That's lovely, lizzypop ?

Very pretty lizziepop and if you enjoyed it you can move on to more adventurous things like cushions.

Good luck with the 5:2 diet b.t.w. ?

Very pretty, well done lizziepop xx

Callistemon Thanks for the warning. Our dogs have huge, power chewed nylabones but Charlie doesn't bother with them! We've found hide chews actually make their mouths bleed.

Here's a photo to show the size of my little project. It's actually quilted with batting and backing. I used a linen table napkin on the back. I've got some odds and ends of fabric in blues and in greens so I might make a couple more...

That is lovely lizzypopbottle, so pretty and a lovely combination of colours and patterns. Even nicer, since it is your first attempt.

What about a bigger one as a cushion cover?

Or smaller ones as coasters.

That's great Lizzy but do be careful - patchwork can become an addiction!

Really lovely :-) WOW for your first piece too :-)

I love seeing photo's of peoples projects, so many amazingly talented folks around.

All I've managed is to paint and cover some waste baskets and a laundry basket. My bit of up-cycling as I used paint that was in the shed and an old cream cotton dressing gown.

I think its lovely, an amazing first piece.

I think I'm safe from patchwork addiction, lbc1955 because you need such accuracy when joining pieces ?

Gransnet is fostering severe quilt envy in me! Lovely work, Lizzie! I can’t sew for toffee.

My mother was a trained tailoress. She made a lot of our clothes and she taught my sister and me.
