A Done Deal

I just finished sewing down the binding by hand. It ended up about 22x28 inches. I used the red binding according to the wishes of the recipient. I quite like the red and don't think it makes it look too busy (can a wall hanging be too busy???) which was my concern.

Red or Black

Today I made the extra row of dogs and assembled the quilt. Now I need to decide on red backing and binding or black... It may be a bit too busy to add another color on the border. What do you think?
I'll probably quilt it very simply.

I have made several more blocks, narrowed the black sashing and added some rick rack. I like the idea of red down the middle of the black. I may audition that tomorrow. I may make one more row of dog blocks to make it rectangular. Right now it is about 24 inches square. The dog in the lower right corner with no rick rack will probably be moved to the center. The rick rack just didn't work on that block for some reason.

Doggie Love

I have started a new wall hanging for a dog lover. I have auditioned two different sashings. I think I prefer the black so far but is it too heavy for the blocks? There is also the red that I have used on the top of the left block that could be used as sashing. Also adding words is still an option.
