    Dogs facing down so that they are "right side up" when you look at the quilt...And it isn't busy...its really cute!

    Yes, that makes good sense, but I have already sewn the sides on with the dogs facing down, but next time I will try your idea which makes good sense. Thanks.

    I love the quilt but I don't like the dogs standing on their heads.

    I vote for dogs facing down. I think that when you look at the quilt it would be awkward if the bottom border was upside down. By the way, your quilt is really cute...good work!

    Thanks for all of your help. The dogs went on facing down. I really enjoy reading all of your advice given on this Quilting Board.

    when the quilt is on the bed, do you want the dogs like they are standing up or standing on their heads upside down? LOL
