A group that I am in issued a challenge - out of the box Potholders... or something like that -
The intent being to make a potholder/MugRug that is not in the shape of a square or a rectangle... which as you know - is what shape I turn just about every block into...
I got out some scraps and got to piecing - and even piecing weird scraps - it turned out pretty rectangular.
So I sliced it, and curved some edges - and this is what I came up with.
That is the quilted side... and then I ironed it to flatten it out a but - Curved edged and binding... seriously - it took me a gazillion, Million quilts to semi tolerate binding quilts... and now - I throw in Curves... oh my!!
What have I been drinking!!!
I hope someone in our Challenge group likes it..
and now for the Puppy part - Man they grow quick!!

Sometimes you need something mini and fun to shake you up a bit. Your mug rug turned out pretty cute. Your puppy is pretty cute too. They do grow so fast that first year.
Adorable pup, nd she is so attentive looking.

Your potholder is pretty! I would struggle with that assignment - lol. What is your adorable puppy's name? She is so cute, will she be a big dog?
That potholder is fun! I love the photos of the puppy…lots of work but so rewarding.
Great potholder. I love the yellow thread quilting. Yes, puppies grow up quickly. Enjoy all of it.
I am all about symmetry so the odd shaped items is hard for me, too! You handled the challenge brilliantly!!! The pup is a beauty--I love the dignity of her pose at her age now!
The quilting on the potholder is really lovely and I think you came up with a fun shape; I'm sure someone is going to be delighted to receive it. And golly, puppies do grow up and into your heart quickly, don't they?
Such a cute puppy! The potholder turned out great. I like that shape. I've been going crazy with the hexagon shaped mug rugs lately.
Oooh! New inspiration for a mini-quilt! Thanks =D
Oh, and... What's not to love about this puppy??? <3
Hey, I like the non-square pot holder
What a great design challenge! And I think you met it with this cute potholder. (Cute puppy, too.)
That is a fun potholder! It's amazing that is so hard to make something not be square - but I would have trouble with that, too. And such an adorable puppy - she is definitely growing!
Love the potholder... especially the quilting!
Darling puppy.
Puppy is adorable but I LOVE your wild, fun potholder quilting.
