Here’s my first finish for the PHD challenge, although I feel like I cheated since I got my backside into gear and actually finished it after I included it in my PHD tally but BEFORE the New Year . In my mind it still counts as a finish since it was lurking around waiting to be made into a quilt top and it was this challenge that spurred me into action.
Rarely does anything I make go according to my original vision and this was no different . Mr. P bought me this quilt top online as a finished vintage top because I liked the colours but when it arrived it had all sorts of issues not the least of which was that it combined cottons (the blocks ) and poly/cottons (the sashing ) and the fact it was a little stretched in one corner. This presented some issues in the quilting process . Faster than you can say Dog Blanket it was done. My pooches now have bragging rights to the classiest dog blanket in town.
One down . Three to go! I hope everyone else is making fabulous progress wrangling their PhD's.

I LOVE it and especially the story that goes with it.
I haven't even started my PhD yet.
Well done Shay!! You've got some lucky pooches there for sure!!! 8-)
Thanks for emailing me of your finish! 8-)
NEXT...
Hooray for a finish and definately for Indy and Lola!
Good job.
Yea! Good for you. Sure, you count it! Sewing during the last of the holidays was what all of us did...in one form or another. It's looking good.
Woohoo for you!!! I'm plugging away at my first - the flimsy is done except for the border....
It looks great! Your pooches are going to be spoiled with this one! Nice job on getting it quilted and done!
Lucky Dog(s). Good for you.
Congrats on one done. I haven't finished any of mine yet, maybe I have too many in the sewing machine at one time. But that is OK, still have lots of time.
Thanks guys..now all I can think of is the other 3 lurking round in the back of my conscience!
Great finish and a two for one -- you not only finished your own UFO but you finished someone else's too!
Great job Shay. I love all the bright colors. I guess I need to get in gear, I haven't really been working on my PhDs.
It's beeyoootiful! Lucky dogs.
It looks great, the dog is lucky. That's a favorite block of mine, too.
Well done! That is really beautiful! I love the colors. Those are two lucky pups!
