A New Quilt Pattern

 This is another new quilt pattern I picked up during the

morning e-mail reading and coffee sipping time.

 Originally, I had picked a line of flower fabric with mostly purples.

I thought it go nicely with the solid gray material.  Nope.
 I didn't like it so I had to go with a Plan B.

The monotone gray/black small print fabric worked nicely.  

 I couldn't bring myself to use that boring solid gray fabric

between the rows of blocks so I pulled a copper

and black fabric from my stash.

 The first time I use a pattern I follow instruction.  The second time

I make a pattern I take liberties.  In this quilt [which is the
original pattern] the gray fabric is specified to be 2-1/2" wide.

This is the second quilt and I decided to cut off 1/2" off the

2-1/2" which was suggested in the original pattern.

That would be the red/white dot fabric in this quilt.

I like the look of the 2" size better.  

 Julep - the pose I get when I say 'treat'.

The rows are done and sewn together.

On the finished quilt I added two borders on each side to make

 it larger.  This westie holiday quilt is slated for the 

Westie Foundation of America

Facebook auction in mid-August.
