Happy Monday! It’s Cindy reporting in from Ohio where it’s snowy and cold!
We are very lucky to have a Miniature Schnauzer named Sadie Sue. She likes to snuggle under blankets and quilts in this cold weather. I was working on this quilt design and she decided to come over and give me an hand…I mean paw!
Here she is again, giving me a look that says, “Hand over the quilt NOW and no one gets hurt!”
So…I decided to name this free quilt pattern after my sweet little Schnauzer…it’s officially called “Sadie’s Charm Quilt”.
My dear friend, MJ, gave me several partial charm square packages from different fabric lines. At first, I wasn’t sure what to do with all these different colors and prints but then decided to just throw caution to the wind and sew them all together.
I used a burgundy inner border to pick up on all the burgundies in the charm squares. I decided to use a small floral print for the outer border to tie in the dark colors in the charm squares and the various shades of orange, blue, burgundy and green. I will be binding this in burgundy after it’s quilted.

Oh you know how to bring a smile to my face! A photo of your miniature schnauzer Sadie Sue (by the way Mike keeps nudging my hand as I try to type so he says hi, oh wait he just snuggled to me why I type this) and a quilt pattern named after her – love it!!!!
Sadie wears that darling charm quilt well! Nice finish!
She does wear it well! She is a charmer for sure!
Hi Cindy! Aww, Sadie is a charmer herself. That helping paw is just so cute. What a nice mash up of all the fun charm pieces – I feel like snuggling with Sadie in this current cold snap. ~smile~ Roseanne
She is a sweet dog AND I do get to snuggle with her now that it’s cold!
Super cute quilt – I’m always looking for ideas to use up my charm packs! Thanks for sharing your patterns! Sadie is adorable!
Thanks, I was over thinking the colors and placement of each square and then I just threw them together and liked the end result. I’ll be sending it to the quilter this week…can’t wait to get it back so Sadie and I can snuggle away!
