"Fairy Tale Lane" Quilt Top in Reproduction Prints, with Dogs!

The puppy is 7 months old this week so sewing time is limited. On Saturday I gave him his first raw meaty marrow bone and he gave me 2 1/2 hours of unbroken silence (except for chewing sounds) which allowed me to finally put this quilt top together. Whew!!

The pattern, “Fairy Tale Lane” was designed by Tula Pink and is in her book, Books from the House of Tula Pink: 20 Projects to Make, Use, and Love.

The fabric is a reproduction print. I’m thinking it imitates fabrics that are post-Civil War, but pre-1900, but that’s only my guess. I was gifted a very big stack of fat quarters from this line and other than the solids used for the “lanes”, the whole quilt is cobbled together from these fat quarters. There is a piece of fabric printed with little dogs in each of the quilt’s blocks which adds an extra element fun. (Look for the lightest patches in each block and you’ll find the dogs).

The actual puppy is going to look stunning on this quilt when I finally get it done. But it might be a long while at this rate! I already have quite a stack of UFOs from this year, all waiting to get quilted.
