Etchings flimsy

Pin It
I pieced my Etchings fabric together and have a 48 inch square so far. I'm not sure if I'll add more to it or just go with a lap quilt.
I put it on this bench thinking it would make a cute picture......Kelso jumped right up and then.....
so did Fez..............okay, not the best way to show a quilt top.

Someone asked about the blocks, these blocks are made from the 2.5 inch jelly roll strips. I sewed a tube of 4 together and then used my Strip Tube ruler to cut to blocks.

It may not be the best way to show off your beautiful top but 8 paws up is a definite endorsement. Will the non-furry grandson be making an appearance any time soon?

LOL - monkey see, monkey do! Maybe they're giving you a hint that they need a quilt, too.

Etchings is one of my favorite lines. This top is too cute.

Beautiful top! Beautiful dogs! jaja!

I thought it was just cats that had the instinct to jump on a quilt top as soon as it was spread out... but I guess dogs also know a good thing when they see it. Cute!

I love the colors and the block. I don't know the ruler that you mentioned... Will have to google it. By the way, the colors go very well with my decor (hint, hint!) :-)

I love Etchings! And your quilt looks great in it. Now you have me intrigued about the ruler - it must be easy to use? Something for the Wish List.
