Here are my four completed blocks for Amy Friend’s Graphic Tee Quilt Along. I’m calling my project “Making Music.” I’m going to use them in a wall hanging rather than making the whole quilt in the quilt along project.

My first block was the drumming dog. My second block was a xylophone playing wolf which got revised because that print wasn’t up to the quality of the other fussy cut motifs.

The drumming dog makes me laugh. My grandfather was a high school principal. When my father was a boy, they had a fox terrier. The dog was not allowed in the school, but their house was only a couple of blocks away, and the fox terrier would occasionally appear at assembly and sing along with the national anthem which amused everyone except my grandfather! (Though I know he had a great sense of humor, so off the record, he probably thought it was funny too).
