    I like the design of this pattern. It helps reduce the clumping of scraps.

    That's a good idea. I bet the puppies like it better to ... no scraps bunching up in one area leaving no scraps in other areas. Thanks for the link.

    I made a dog bed out of old denim pieces and it wore like iron.

    Only if the individual parts are washable. If you use a heavy decorator fabric that says dry clean only, I wouldn't wash.

    I am a long arm quilter and am continually throwing scraps of batting away! I am going to start saving them now to make these beds for shelter animals. Thanks for sharing!
