Quilt Top

When my dogs are still puppies, I let them choose their own colors.  Every dog seems to have a favorite color that they gravitate to and some are even particular about what shade or tint of that color they like.

So when Gimme was a youngster, I brought home a zillion paint chips and laid them on the floor in groups of ten or so and let her indicate which appealed to her.  Dogs will usually just pick one color chip up over and over again - often chewing on it or carrying it around.  Then if you pick them all up together and lay them out again, they often go back to the same color.

Not Gimme - she was all over the place with her colors and I didn't know what to make of it. I'd never had a dog that didn't pick just one color and stick with it.  However, when we were done and I happened to have all the colors she picked together in one place, it became clear that she had actually assembled a very pretty palette of colors.  Based on her chosen palette, I bought fabrics that matched.

Here is a picture of her first quilt...  We have planned two more...
