A Quilt for Luna

In my last post i gave you a wee peek at a quilt I was making for Luna, our 6 month old cocker spaniel.

This was a leader and ender project from a quilt called Blue Ridge Beauty by Bonnie Hunter.
It is in her book Adventures with Leaders and Enders.
Anyway, I had started it a long time ago and the blocks I had finished were stored in a box. The machine I was using at the time did not have a quarter inch foot so some of my seams were huge.

I thought it would make a perfect little quilt for Luna to lie on in the evening she seems to prefer to lie on the floor stretched out rather than in her bed.

I added a couple of little borders to frame it.  Now the quilting.

I quilted it on my frame with an all over echoed flowery pattern.  It is not a panto, just freehand.  Somebody mentioned that it looks like little paws.
It does too but that was completely unintentional.
Here's the back

and the front:

I love the texture created. It has quite a chunky look to it because I used a fairly thick polyester wadding.  It will be going through the washing machine frequently I think!

Here's Luna in front of the quilt, bored with me taking photos.
Hasn't she grown since the first photos?

Its all finished now and being used daily. Adds a lovely splash of colour to my living room floor and its good to get another UFO finished!

Now, whats next?

See you next time
