about LOVE
My entry into the bloggers quilt festival.
This quilt was designed and made for my husband (aka design consultant). It celebrates all the dogs that we have been fortunate to have in our lives. Especially Prudence (our first dog together) and agent Ninety-Nine. We lost the niner niner a about a year and a half ago but that's when Kyra Kaos entered our lives.

A few more pictures of the quilt
It all started when I ran across this quilt by Tula Pink
Shortly after I read this post on the billboard quilt along by Elizabeth I sat down a drafted a quilt top. Which I then decided was all the wrong dimensions. Thus all the scribbles.
While I was surfing the web I ran across Tonya's blog and decided to buy her book.
The back is based on a quartered log cabin block by Nettie Peterson in this book
![Block Party: The Modern Quilting Bee - The Journey of 12 Women, 1 Blog, & 12 Improvisational Projects [Book]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_u1sj0yqLMnkmhG7_cP7T7iL_u8tKHPHdsmB_NGbBCSdhO3ym9Yodr4TnAlmljNJI7x-xENeghlmuo8A-ssRNQ6w1PfmxRP31oSyFJ10plyz1fKZ_KQ86tZq7m0KE9rFNz2nZvD4LxuyBPfc24fqoSVZTuGJ3Ec=s0-d)
Hubby loves color so the back is bright for him.

ReplyDeleteI recently created a similar LOVE for the front of a tote bag. I didn't realize there was a book available. It would make these such things SO much easily!
What a lovely quilt! I love word quilts. What a great way to memorialize favorite pets. Where did you come up with some of those wonderful pet names like Kyra Kaos - Love it.
ReplyDeleteOur last dog was named "99" after the character in get smart. We adopted Kyra who came already named It just seemed natural to add Kaos to continue with the get smart theme. Thanks for your comment.
