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.

      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

      Twin Size (70" x 90")

      • 7 yards of a variety of background fabrics

        Playful Puppies

        This quilt pattern was so much fun! I could not stop working on it until I was done. It was great to dig through my stash to fine the prints to use for each square! I will be giving it to my daughter. Her lab is a certified comfort dog and she can sit/lay on it while at work. All the videos were awesome, down to earth and helpful.

        Can’t wait to get started!

        Playful puppies looks so fun. I’ve made several bear quilts and had so much fun doing them. I can’t wait to start on the puppies. I recently lost my dog and I can’t wait to make a block that looks like my Peanut. I also ordered some of your suggested fabric from Spoonflower. I love it too!

        Made the Puppy guilt a year or two ago and the updated one looks like something I will make in the future. Sewing the blocks was so much fun and relaxing. I liked that you can go back to the download and click on highlighted areas for help.
