Difficulty

Are you a new quilter?

I've got you covered. The fourteen puppies you see on the cover are designed especially for beginners.

For each pup you get. . .

a full-sized placement guide like this:

. . . full-sized pattern pieces - reversed and exploded so you can print directly onto fusible adhesive sheets, like this:

. . . and a video showing you how to assemble the pieces.

You also get a link to download an SVG file for use with electric cutting machines like Cricut.

Want to stretch your design skills a tiny bit?

Move on to the additional eleven dogs.

These dogs are all made with the templates from the main fourteen, so their placement guides look like this.

You get the placement page, which tells you which pattern pieces to use, and you also get a video showing how the pieces go together.

Want to stretch your design skills even more?

Create your own! Remix all the pattern pieces to create dogs for which I didn't include a placement guide and videos. All the pieces in this pattern also work with the pieces in the More Playful Puppies pattern. Between the two patterns you'll have the pieces you need to create all but the weirdest-looking dogs. :-)

Size

The blocks finish at 10" square. The pattern includes detailed instructions for the following sizes. . .

• crib (50" square)
• napping (50" x 60") - this is my favorite size for on the couch
• twin (70" x 90")

This post has links to info for additional quilt sizes.

You can find links to sources for many of my favorite tools and supplies here.

If you're making a quilt in one of my standard sizes, here are recommended fabric amounts needed.

Crib Size (50" square)

• 3 yards of a variety of background fabrics
• assorted prints for the appliques (get at least 7 fat quarters, but you’ll probably want more for variety)
• 2 1/2 yards fabric for the quilt back (or 1 1/2 yards Cuddle Fleece)
• 1/2 yard binding fabric

Napping Size (50" x 60")

• 3 1/3 yards of a variety of background fabrics
• assorted prints for the appliques (get at least 8 fat quarters, but you’ll probably want more for variety)
• 4 yards fabric for the quilt back (or 2 yards Cuddle Fleece)
• 1/2 yard binding fabric

Twin Size (70" x 90")

• 7 yards of a variety of background fabrics
• assorted prints for the appliques (get at least 16 fat quarters, but you’ll probably want more for variety)

• 5/8 yard binding fabric

You'll find materials lists for additional quilt sizes here.

Other Materials

This pattern is not available for commercial resale. That means you may not copy and sell or digitally distribute the pattern or any variation of the pattern. 

For example, you may not print the pattern and sell those copies.

You may not use the designs in the pattern to create and sell an embroidery pattern, or acrylic templates of all the pieces in the pattern.

Yes!

You may, however, sell anything you make with Shiny Happy World patterns as long as you are the one making it.

For example, if you're using this pattern to make pillows which you sell at a craft fair or in an online shop, that's great!

Talk to Me

If you're hiring out any part of the process, please get in touch and we'll work out a fair licensing agreement.

For example, if you want to hire someone to sew those pillows, or if you want to have the design printed on fabric that you sew into pillows, those two scenarios would require a licensing agreement. Get in touch! I'm easy to talk to. :-) smile@shinyhappyworld.com
