There are fourteen dog appliqué patterns which you can make into a crib, nap, or twin-sized quilt. You can also use the appliqué patterns on their own to embellish T-shirts, make tote bags, pillows and more. You can even shrink them down to use as embroidery patterns. :-)
Want to make sure you have the right dog pattern? I have more than one. :-)
The Playful Puppies and More Playful Puppies patterns are both designed to make specific dog breeds. Together, they have all the instructions and pieces you need to make any of the 50 most popular dog breeds in America - and you can mix and match the templates to make even more. They're both more advanced patterns.
The Lovable Mutts pattern - what you're looking at here - is a super easy pattern, perfect for beginners. The dogs aren't supposed to represent specific breeds - they're just cute and fun. :-)
All three patterns have blocks that finish at 10 inches square - so you can mix and match blocks between them.
