    I've been on a hot roll this wk. trying to get a cpl. of things finished before I leave for Ariz. in 2 wks.
    I just took this out of the washer & drier since you've all convinced me they should be washed. It did turn out crinkled & I love that look. This is for a very special friend.

    Here are pix.
    The boxer on the back is to thank "dogpursemaker" of the QB.
    When I put out a request for fabrics with boxers on it, she dug through her stash to find fabric with mixed dogs on it. She washed her fabric & fussy cut the boxers for me. Then she wouldn't let me pay her for them. So I used one of her boxers anyway since they didn't really work as blocks. Thank you so very much, "dogpursemaker".

    I was very disappointed in how baggy the 4 patches are. I should have done FMQ on them instead of just criss crosses. Oh well. Done now

    I love boxers. I had one named Bubba. He had a perfect white heart on the back of his neck.

    You did a wonderful job on your quilt!

    The friend I made it for has 5 boxers. Four are a litter of the other. He loves these dogs & just can't part with any of them. They sleep on the bed with him (divorced) so when he wants to turn over he has to kick some dogs off the bed. It sounds like such a funny sight to me.

    Fun quilt! (I also thought this was going to be a quilt of underwear.....)

    You can always add additional quilting in the 4-square areas; stippling would work.

    When I was a very little girl, my grandpa gave my big brother a boxer that he named Mike. Mike and I would nap together on the floor. I would lie across his midriff, head on one side and feet on the other. He was an awesome pet, except he was a runner. Every time the screen door opened, off he'd go. Finally, we had to give him to a family that lived on a farm out of town so he could run to his heart's content. I still think about that sweet guy.
