dnice Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 I participated in the Friendship star block swap that Doodlebug set up. Well here is the finished quilt. It is a raffle quilt for GRIN (Golden Retrievers in Need of Rescue). We are fosters and my husband is a director. I had to share to say thanks to all that made the stars. You are helping a wonderful organization. I also included a picture of my two goldens. thanks everyone that sent stars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachside Quilter Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Great quilt, Denice, and how neat to use your "friendship" swap stars! Very cool, and best of luck with your raffle. Cute pups!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnice Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Cindy the middle block of the golden is paper pieced.. It worked will in the sizing of the blocks. Vickie, I like to use the friendship stars due to the idea of a swap and a lot of color. It shows that many differences. Normally I would not be using that many colors. Glad you like it. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnice Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Libby G I sent U2U. Dell we love doing the rescue. In the photo is the resident Golden (Dylan) and the tall shaved one is our foster number seven (Ferguson.) Thanks everyone for the comments. I hope my idea of centering the dog works for bringing in the Bucks for the organization. I actually had fun on quilting this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
