The Dog Park Pattern by Elizabeth Hartman

Dog Park includes instructions for making 11 different patchwork pups and four different sampler quilt sizes. Everything is made with conventional patchwork techniques. No templates or paper piecing! Tippi the Chihuahua, Cookie the Terrier, Bernadette the Doodle, Pickles the Corgi, Lucky the Frenchie, Ginger the Dachshund, Edgar the Australian Shepherd, Wadsworth the Lab, Buttercup the Pug, Jeff the Beagle, and Clover the German Shepherd are all ready to play in the dog park. These happy pups are pieced using conventional patchwork techniques. No templates or paper piecing! The pattern includes a detailed chart showing the specific fabrics I used to make my samples, but don’t hesitate to make different fabric/color choices! I’ve tried to keep some of the block designs ambiguous enough to be interpreted as different types of dogs, so you can have fun mixing and matching fabrics to make blocks that look more like your own furry friends. Dog Park includes instructions for making a 68” x 86” Large Quilt with Tennis Ball Borders, a 68” x 72” Large Quilt, a 55” x 60” Medium Quilt, and a 40” x 50” Small Quilt.
