Gone to the Dogs

Next week I get to reveal a beautiful quilt I made using some gorgeous Benartex fabrics. Equinox is the name of the blenders (ie, they "read" solid, but they have some texture). I pulled several 10" panels of dogs from the Dog Gone It collection by Ann Lauer and centered them in a Nonsense block.

Nonsense is the actual name of this vintage block! (This also appears in my Block a Day Calendar with the name "Hilary's Garden").  I've used it many times before because the center is a large 10"! Wanna see?

Those block triangles are easy to cut and the block goes together quickly. And who doesn't like big blocks? Your quilt is finished quicker.

Here's how the March Nonsense block (Hilary's Garden) appears in my upcoming Block a Day Calendar:

Hilary's Garden (aka, Nonsense): 15"

Can you see how that large center square invites some fabulous print or motif or panel to strut their stuff?

I have made a few quilts over the years where this block was featured. Next week you will get to see the newest beautiful quilt using Benartex fabrics and those fabulous dogs. See you then!
