Who Let The Dogs Out?

Happy Tuesday!

I’ve been wanting to make something using a Moda Cake Mix, which is a “recipe” for sewing layer cakes ( 10 x 10 inch squares) really easy! It is a unique triangle paper, 45 sheets in each recipe book with several block layouts for inspiration.

I used Cake Mix 2 for my small quilt and chose the “T” block layout. One assembled recipe card in Cake Mix 2 makes two 6.75 inch finished blocks. If you need a mindless sewing project these recipe cards are fantastic – just stitch on the dotted lines and cut on the solid lines!

The shape of the “T” block reminded me of a dog’s head so I added a few buttons and magically the puppies appeared! My small quilt measures 27 x 34. I plan to hang it in my sewing room — I just love it!

Sewing on those buttons to make them dogs was the cleverest idea! You know people are going to copy that by the dozens!

Good morning! Very, very cute and thanks – I’m now humming that song. The little buttons just make the whole thing – I would enjoy this hanging in my house should you get tired of it! HAHA! Happy Wednesday! ~smile~ Roseanne

  Good Morning! I’m so glad you like my mini — it was so much fun to make. I forgot to make the hanging corners so I’ll make a sleeve today. Happy Wednesday!

This is so cute. I’m glad the dogs aren’t real and make too much noise or messes in you sewing room.
