Getting ready to add backing and Batting. I only used two of my nine Border Collie panels. I had a fat quarter of the allover border collies so I did the log cabin look for those squares. I'm hoping to get this done by New Years or thereabouts when my sister comes for a visit. Wish me luck!

Very creative. Lots of sheep - border collies would love it too. What are you going to do with the rest of the panels? Put some on the back? Make another quilt? Pillows?

My sister is in a group of Border Collie Rescuers, I thought I might offer to do some pillows, wall-hangings for them.

I bet you could do another quilt and they could auction it for big $$. Just a thought...

He looks like a sweetie! He looks a lot like my sister's first BC. Girlfriend had a lot more white, but otherwise very similar looks. Merry Christmas to you too!

I'm thinking she'll like it. I gave her a little crystal BC with a red cape and horns a couple of years ago and she was all ga-ga over that so I'm thinking she'll appreciate the quilt...imperfections and all!
