It was so much fun to make that I made another one in boy colors.

I was helped in choosing backing and binding fabrics on this thread: Clouds or Stripes for Backing?

Thank you... I never would have thought to make it this way without your suggestions.

Very cute quilt. Especially like your quilting and binding. Lots of work but well worth the effort!

What size are the blocks? Look like 2.5. Would be simple enough to make.

Yes, I used 2.5" squares to make a 10" finished Scottie dog block... but you could use any size you want.

Well Done.. I love the quilt and the quilting is perfect as to not draw away from the actual blocks.

Darling! The clouds and stripes finish it nicely. How did you get the quilting lines to be so perfectly aligned? The stitches look further apart than a double needle would allow. Hm.....

It was free motion with a ruler. I marked the middle line and sewed 1/4" on either side of the center. It worked great!
