Here is my first block:
I am using Woolies flannel (Maywood Studio)l for the sweaters. It is a thick, soft flannel, a higher quality than most of the flannel you can find a JoAnn's. I thought about using my husband's old flannel shirts for this, but I'm glad I splurged on this flannel. I am making the throw size quilt for my friend who watches my dog Chase while I'm at work.
Here is Chase in his favorite place, the landing of the steps. He can keep track of who is upstairs, who is downstairs, and who is at the front door from his perch here. Chase is 13 and slowing down a little, but he isn't used to being left at home by himself, and I appreciate my neighbor keeping a eye on him. She will feed him and take him for walks if I'm gone for very long. Her own dog has arthritis and can't go on long walks anymore. Though he doesn't look like it in the picture, Chase is always up for a walk.

At 11, Leeapaul's loves to go for walks and if he gets out he will walk from one end of our neighborhood to the other.
Love the dogs in sweaters pattern - I think I am going to have to make that one of these days. Your dog has the same idea as mine - she's on the landing of our stairs right now watching the neighborhood to see what's going on.
Chase is such a pretty dog. I love your first block. Are all the dogs the same with different sweaters, or do they vary with the species? It is a cute block.
Our large dog lays at the top of the stairs, so that he can see into my sewing room (he's afraid he'll miss something) and also see the front door, at the bottom of the stairs. We started giving him a supplement to help with his arthritis. His is related to when he was a weight pull champion (before we adopted him).
Dogs in Sweaters is adorable--such a cute pattern. You have a wonderful neighbor!
