Thanks to Jane's excellent suggestion, not only have I got a nice, gutsy border for my Dog Show quilt, but I didn't have to go and buy any! (No, I didn't steal it, and neither did Jane give it to me - generous as she is!) She suggested a piano keys border using the fabrics I had used for the dogs themselves. What a great idea. I didn't have enough of all the fabrics (as ever) but I think it works well.
Here is Aussiedog, made from fabulous Australian fabric.
This is Pointer, who is so interested in something, his head has nearly left his body!
And now to label the rest!
I have decided to label all the breeds, because I'm not sure whether everyone will be familiar with them.
This is Robodog. (He was actually the first one I made, and turned out a little chunky!)
