Little Dogs Strip Quilt

This quilt was so super easy to make it's almost embarrassing, but I am very pleased with how it turned out.  The colors are so cheerful and happy, it's the perfect thing to cuddle up under on all these miserable, cold grey days we've been having!

I did this one twin sized, which I find I much prefer to the standard throw sized quilts.  Maybe that's because I'm on the tall side, or maybe it's because my two little dogs are blanket hogs, but we just don't fit too well under the throws.  I also used wool batting with this one which makes a huge difference in the warmth.  It's actually warm!  I think going forward I will stick with either wool batting or flannel backing, probably not both, but I don't find the cotton batting to be warm enough.  Nice for a summer quilt but even them I get shilled very easily so something a bit warmer would be nice.

The best part about this quilt is the back.  I tried piecing the back (well, part of it anyway) out of scraps for the first time and I am really happy with how it came out.  It's so cute I can flip the whole thing over for a different look if I get tired of the wild pink.  The whole project took a weekend.  Overall, a big success!  The dogs are happy with it too!
