A really cute cute quilt and I love the heart in it. We really love our pets and mourn at their passing. But, they bring so much pleasure that it worth the mourning just to be able to love them for a while. Rescue programs are so important.

oh gosh, no! don't remove that heart!
I didn't notice it the first time, but after reading your story you
must leave it in.
It's just a spectacular quilt and a lovely quilt-memory of your Lexie.
I can't give much advice on the quilting, but I'd do something that didn't
detract from that beautiful dog

My mother always advised, "When in doubt, leave it out!" In this case I would put it on the back of the quilt. I'm sorry for your loss. My beloved Gucci, my rescue Pomeranian, died just before Christmas. Thank goodness for my two Yorkies, Booger Bear and Wookie Doodle. They can't take her place, but they are wonderful. froggyintexas

Absolutely adore your quilt! I would leave the heart in. Yes, it's striking, but I feel the symbolism of the special place in your heart your dog held is a fitting tribute that everyone should see.

Love your quilt & I am so sorry about your loss. It is 5 years ago today (Apr. 1) that we lost our beloved Golden Retriever, Jessie & I still miss her terribly. She was so special. We become attached to our beloved pets & it's so hard when we lose them. Love the heart but perhaps on the label or on the back of the quilt, IMHO.
