What you get+-

Make a sweet fluffy puppy face with this easy applique pattern.

I showed sample blocks with fairly common realistic coloring as well as some fantasy colors. Different colors can make different dog breeds - maybe try all white for a little Westie?

This applique pattern would also be a great addition to the Playful Puppies quilt pattern.

The pattern also has links to additional free patterns for tote bags, pillows, wall hangings, and more projects perfect for using a single applique pattern. There's also a link to a free workshop teaching how to make a quilt using Quilt As You Go and applique with fusible adhesive. You can work through the lessons using any applique pattern - including this one - and make a quilt any size you like!

    Size

    The block finishes at 10" square. 

        Difficulty

        I'm calling this one a Skill Builder. It's not that it's difficult, but all the points on her shaggy fur are a little fussy to outline. If you're comfortable using your sewing machine - go for it! But if this is your first applique project I recommend choosing a pattern with a smoother outline. 

        I used appliqué with fusible adhesive and Quilt As You Go to make a super easy quilt - all done on the machine. The pattern also includes links to videos teaching needle turn appliqué and machine appliqué with freezer paper, in case you prefer those methods.

        What You Need+-

        For a single block you'll just need an 11" square of fabric and some scraps for the applique. You'll also need a sheet of fusible adhesive. I use Heat & Bond Lite for all my quilts.

        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 yards fabric for the quilt back (or 4 yards Cuddle Fleece)
        • 5/8 yard binding fabric

        You can find amounts needed and cutting instructions for additional sizes here.

        You might also want. . .

        • freezer paper (if you choose the machine appliqué with freezer paper technique) – either a roll from the grocery store, or this printable freezer paper

        I like the shaggy dog

        I like the shaggy dog pattern, I am adjusting the basic pattern to make a quilted portrait of my sister-in-law"s shih tzu. The only problem I still am having is trying to shrink the PDF file, my lap top just won't do it. I still wish the download offered different sizes. If IO cannot easily change the size on my computer, sadly I may stop buying these patterns.

        Such a sweet face

        I love the sweet fluffy puppy face. I will have to do it again, since my color choices were not satisfactory, but I can already see that it may become one of my favorites.
