    Wow, I knew I could count on you! Well, I love the dog bone, dog words idea, of which I have none. So, I guess I'll "HAVE" to go to the quilt shop (it's a dirty job, but someone has to do it!). Thank you for all of your great ideas!!

    Very cute puppies. I like the above suggestion. Would not want to take away from the adorable puppies. Great quilt no matter how you decide to finish it.

    The puppies are so darn cute! My first thought was definitely sashing, then I looked at the site with the dogs in the attic windows and that's cute too. I think I like the sashing idea better, they will look like they are in their own little crates. Please post a picture when you are finished, can't wait to see it!

    I think attic windows would be smashing. Something to enhance the doggies but not detract from them. This is going to be the cutest quilt. Hope you are having fun with it.

    I am not a dog person but that is just the cutest quilt...!!!! I think black sashing would be nice. Would love to see it finished.

    I think that black would make the dogs pop. Try different fabrics and various widths and take a digital picture as you go along. You can then review your pictures and see if there is one that tells you to use it !!

    Black attic window and then finish with a paw print fabric, you are doing great so far!

    I think the attic windows approach would be really cute with the dog print border.
