Arf!!!

Yes, my little drops of rain are upside down....I would love to say this was all part of the grand design....but, no,
it was just me not paying attention...
silly me...

Maybe I was a bit distracted by a fantastic paper foundation pattern I found on Pinterest.
I have long loved the vintage Scotty Dog design...

    
and was so excited to find one on Pinterest!

This one finishes as a 6 inch block....how cute!

 
happy thursday!

  1. Oh, I must make Scotty! (I made the DS Scotty dog soft toy once and it was the hardest thing I had ever done!) And yippee- I'm your first commenter today! What's a few upside down raindrops between friends! LOL!

  2. I actually thought the raindrops looked just fine - I just showed them to my small daughter who agrees:-) Since real raindrops are apparently not tear shaped it doesn't really matter as long as they're aesthetically pleasing and I love yours! Scotty dog is cool too.

  5. I made a quilt quite some time ago using the dog design. The block was not hard to stitch as it might seem to be.

  6. Love this, I've made a Scottie dog with squares and triangles but never like this, he's great

  7. Ooops. Sorry I mentioned the teardrops. Just think of them as working their way home, leaving happy times in their wake.

    Very cute Scottydog!

  9. OMGoodness! I love the Scottie - My daughter graduated undergrad school from Agnes Scott College and of course their mascot is a Scottie. I've made several but this one I LOVE!! And I have some of that linen!
    And the raindrops are like turning a frown upside down:)

  11. Hello Scotty!! This is such a gorgeous block!! Are you going to make a whole quilt?

  12. I am also wondering what you are planning with the scottie dog. I can't decide whether I like him best standing on all four legs... or balancing on two... I'd do both alternating the setting...

  13. Are you going to make a whole quilt of these? I hope so!

  14. I love that you made a recognizable dog shape in muted colors. It's adorable and sophisticated at the same time! When you decide what to do with it, I'd love to see it as a work in progress on Kollabora, the crafting community! A lot of us over there have been looking for quilting inspiration lately.
