This is one of my favorite quilts. The fabric I used came from my Mother. She always wanted to make a Scottie dog quilt. She had this little one yard or maybe a little more blue fabric and in making this quilt, I used every last scrap of it. But when it was time to bind it, there wasn’t enough fabric. Amazingly, I found a perfect blue (from Mother’s stash that I inherited) to match the blue in the Scottie dog fabric.
I used the AccuQuilt GO! 8″ and 12″ Qubes to make this quilt, but you can use individual dies or rotary cutting.

I love to read your comments, but WordPress has not been sending them to my email until a day or two after the blog posts so I will be reading and responding here in the comments section.
This is just the cutest thing ever. Those scotties are just prancing.
Thanks. I had so much fun making them. And Mother’s fabric finally found the perfect home.
You made you Mom proud! Use it all up!
Thank you Elizabeth. I hope she’s looking down and loving it.
Love it!!!!!!
Thank you Karen.
Adorable. I don’t see the full quilt though.
Hi Bea, not sure why you’re not seeing the whole quilt. Click on the title and it should be right at the top.
That is the cutest little quilt. And the colors are amazing! They all work perfectly! Yes, your mom would be very proud.
Thanks Belinda. I agree about the colors. And there’s no more of either fabric. But isn’t it wonderful when we hit on the perfect combination.
That is adorable, Marjorie! What size is the finished quilt?
Hi Lorna, Thank you. It is 45″ x 57″. The blocks are 12″ and the borders are 2″ and 3″ all the way around.
That’s a nice sized quilt! Thanks, Marjorie!
Thank you!
Hi Carol, You’re welcome – so glad you enjoyed it.
Outstanding – love it! What a nice keepsake!
Thank you Debbie. It is a keepsake. I held onto Mother’s small piece of Scottie Dog fabric for literally years. My philosophy is that quilts are “born” when they’re ready. And this was definitely that. It just all came together when the time was right.
Love this!
Hi Shelda, Thank you. Pink is a little out of my usual color scheme, but I’m loving it too.
Very cute
Thank you Kelly.
