Scottie Dog Quilt Pattern

The traditional Scottie Dog quilt is assembled from a combination of squares, bars, half-square triangle units and one quarter square triangle unit. The pieces for this patchwork quilt block can all be rotary cut and quick pieced.

I used only two colors for the Scottie Dog illustration, but you can vary fabrics in any way you prefer. Make the little Scottie in realistic colors or try a small scale dog-themed fabric for either the body or background.

Finished block size: 12-inches square

The instructions make one Scottie Dog.
