Totally Adorable!!!
Did you cut the hair in the curvy shapes, and appli... or is it a different technique???
Love it!

Thank you so much, she was the love of my life. Now I have another maltese with a totally zaney personality, love her too, and the yorkie has a much younger playmate...she's now the "old girl" at 4 1/2.

I probably didn't use your technique (but I am buying the book, so I can next time)! I did another one by cutting out the top fabric and laying over a darker fabric, but since I used white on this one, it would show thru, so I actually used fused applique this time. I just really love the idea of it and especially the way you use so few lines to capture the essence of a portrait

I did take the heart off, every time I looked at it my eyes were drawn to it, so I will fmq it in instead.

What a tribute to one of your furry family members.

I love the quilt. You did a fantastic job on it. The heart is one of those things that you will have to decide about. Its good, either way.

I couldn't get it to hang quite straight on the hangers, but you get the idea...I'm so excited to get this one finished and can't wait to see who the winner of the Spoiled Maltese Rescue Raffle is This was a fun project

That is so sweet and I like the heart on it. I don't have any quilting suggestions as that's the part I always struggle with myself. I'm an animal lover too and know how much it hurts to lose a pet. I lost my Min Pin girl 5 1/2 years ago and my heart hurts just as much now as it did then. I hope the quilt will help raise a lot of money for the rescue.

I love your quilt... I'd try the heart in the lower right corner white block. Bet it wouldn't read as strong there as the eye starts at the top!!!!!

I'm really liking it as is...I think I'll keep the front this way and do a paw print for the label in the dk blue surrounded by the pink heart...

love the heart, but can it be faded like the dog?

I'm leaving it off of the front and putting one on the back as the label
