In another avoidance tactic from sewing the other curtain (I really will have to finish that next) I finished “Really Big George”- based on a photo of Giant George. If you don’t know who Giant George, he was- until extremely recently- the biggest dog in the world ever!
This quilt is about a square metre and I have put it in my Etsy shop, but it’s not cheap 😉
There’s several different FMQ styles in there- my usual thread sketching but also I followed the design on the front on the background which gave a lovely effect. The fabric is from Heirloom by Joel Dewberry by the way.
The back is just simply Kona Natural, and the applique fabrics are a total mix of different manufacturers and designers I couldn’t possibly name them all.

Hehe, this is great, looks like it should be on an album cover or suchlike!
Wow! This is an amazing piece — you did a super job!
The Pink accents in his lips really make it! The contrasting color really pops. Excellent job!
Yes, I know who Giant George is, I love danes, just wouldn’t want to pick up after them! Excellent job on your mini quilt, love it!
Oh dear I never thought of that- OH really wants one, I struggle picking up after Fletcher sometimes!
Oh that is such an amazing quilt!! Well done – it’s just fabulous!
I adorned your Really Big George!
Totally incredible!! Really expressive and I like how you quilted the background. And I can understand avoiding the dreaded other curtain!
