Pet quilts

This is one my charity projects, pet quilts/pet mats for our local animal shelter. I tend to use scrap fabric or fabrics donated by people that I know. I just got a great haul of upholstery fabric. 

In the above photo, the center block had matching fabric, used on the corners. Then I found some coordinating sashing. The outer border is made from three separate fabrics. All the fabrics had different textures. Hopefully, the animals find that interesting. 

I discovered that I didn't have the skills to get sharp points with thick upholstery fabric and that my math was off, so the borders do not match nicely on the ends.

  2. Thicker fabrics are hard to work with. Is it washable? I didn't know upholstery fabric was. Sure is a pretty quilt, all summery.

    1. I washed all the swatches before I started and many were still tough and difficult to work with. That is okay. I have tons of fabric for the pet quilts.
