French Bull Dog Quilt

French Bull Dog Quiltie
 
French Bull Dog for my sister.  She lives in Japan, so the background is Asian-inspired, reminiscent of sakura, or cherry trees in spring.   If you look closely, you'll see little cherry blossoms stitched into the background quilting.
 
I purchased these Whole Country Caboodle dog kits on sale at Keepsake Quilting.  The fabrics come as a pre-cut fusible applique kit, so all you have to do is pick your own background, and lay out the pieces, fuse and stitch them down.

Note: This is not the back the the finished piece.  It does get another layer of fabric and quilting to be finished.

Here are all three dog quilties together.
