These little cuties remind me of the the doggie I had when I was little. It was made of crocheted granny squares. Both versions are so cute and considered "shabby chic" by most of the young mothers I know. Wonderful Shower gift- just substitute felt circles for the button eyes!

I like them much but that is a lot of hard work. How did you wind up with so many small squares?/Lillian

I am 60+ years old and still have my Scottie Dog from when I was a little girl. In fact I used it as my pattern for when I made them for my kids and again for grandchildren. I recently saw the pattern resurface on one of the quilting sites. They are and always will be very cute!

very nice, and a great way to use your left-over bits.
Does your machine mind embroidering over the seams?

I am able to collect lots of 2,1/2 " square because I make my quilt binding 2,1/2 " and the gusset in the dog is 2,1/2 " , so when I finish an item I cut all the left overs up ,I now have a tin full of squares

Your patchwork Scotty dogs are adorable! My mother used to make these. One of my first sewing projects was to make one of these. I still have it 40 years later. I like to make them as baby gifts. How much do you sell them for? My mother never knew what to ask, so she let the ladies at the church bazaar price them.

I have been selling them for $25 , one lady has bought 8

radmom by radmom 27 Mar 2015

My mother made a pair by request for a couple that saw them at the church bazaar. They had Scotty dogs. My mother made them in the colors they wanted and the guy paid $30 each. My mother was shocked!

yes its a free pattern , but I do 2.1/2 " square rather than the 2.1/4, and yes the back is patchwork as well

What delightful scottie dog pillows you've done& sounds like people are enjoying your creativeness too. I think I'd enjoy it too. If you wouldn't mind telling where did the pattern come from? Thanks for sharing your work. ~D
