Block #7 is one of my favorites! This month we are sewing 2 Furry Friend blocks. Oh my gosh, what would we do without pets! It is amazing how their presence can fill our homes and bring so much joy and laughter. We have 3 cats, and although they are almost silent, it is unbelievable how much love and depth they bring to our home. They are always around when one of my boys is upset, and needs 5 minutes of petting time to calm down. One loves to come sit on my lap and knead my side while she purrs. Pets are good company indeed.

This month, we have Block #7 Furry Friend from the Hygge Sampler Quilt Pattern. There are 2 blocks to choose from. You may make one of each, or combine the blocks to reflect the pets in your home. If you do not have pets, these 2 blocks finish at 12” each and you may substitute any 12” quilt blocks you like in their place. I have a number of tutorials for 12” blocks here if you like. (The Patchwork Auditions blocks are offered in 12” and 16” finished blocks.)
These blocks are so cute together when they are combined in the whole quilt top! I just love the patchwork star on the bodies of both blocks.
If you choose to make the Dog Block, his ears are appliqued on after piecing the rest of the block. Here is a link to a tutorial on raw edge applique if you need a refresher.
