Patchwork dogs
(Yellow) Sam and (Black) Bren are in their accustomed positions on winter evenings, enjoying the comfort of their own quilts. Two of those shown, admittedly, have been inherited from a previous generation of dogs. Using upholstery scraps to make quilts which can double up as sofa throws for dogs means that I can try out new patterns and methods without using valuable (and expensive) patchwork fabrics, then if I don't like the pattern/method, there's nothing lost. Also, patchwork quilts looks much nicer than plain old dog blankets and the upholstery fabric is hard-wearing and stands up to weekly washings. Altogether, a happy combination, giving pleasure both to dogs and to people.
