Thank you so much, she was the love of my life. Now I have another maltese with a totally zaney personality, love her too, and the yorkie has a much younger playmate...she's now the "old girl" at 4 1/2.
I probably didn't use your technique (but I am buying the book, so I can next time)! I did another one by cutting out the top fabric and laying over a darker fabric, but since I used white on this one, it would show thru, so I actually used fused applique this time. I just really love the idea of it and especially the way you use so few lines to capture the essence of a portrait
I did take the heart off, every time I looked at it my eyes were drawn to it, so I will fmq it in instead.

I just saw this thread! What a great job you did on your beautiful little friend. I am so sorry for your loss.
I am glad that the technique worked for you, and I love doing this technique as condolence quilts too.
Personally, I like the heart on the front, since it is in red, it really pulls together the corner blocks (which BTW the border is fantastic!). I liked the suggestion of making the hair bow red too.

That is so sweet and I like the heart on it. I don't have any quilting suggestions as that's the part I always struggle with myself. I'm an animal lover too and know how much it hurts to lose a pet. I lost my Min Pin girl 5 1/2 years ago and my heart hurts just as much now as it did then. I hope the quilt will help raise a lot of money for the rescue.
