Team Packers for My Dog Milo by Liz M

My Dog Milo
I quilt in Buhl Idaho.

I was born in Wisconsin and forever consider it my home. I can remember many weekends at my uncle’s home with all the family around. The men were playing Sheepshead. The women were in the kitchen fixing way too much food. The cousins were doing what kids do. And the Packers were playing in the background. I am born and bred a Packer fan! Such great memories.
This is my first attempt at a rag quilt. My Dog Milo is my constant companion. His bed needed a new quilt so we made him a packer fan too.

All the directions for making a rag quilt said to clip the edges after sewn with spring scissors. Don’t know what that is and don’t have any. I decided to “clip” the edges with my rotary cutter. After each seam was sewn I used my smallest cutter to cut the edges every half inch. I did clip the stitched seams a couple times. But just went back and sewed over that bit that I cut. Worked great and went quickly.
