I'd like to know who plans on making a quilt square for Ratbone's quilt this year and any and all input is welcome!! This has always been a huge fundraiser for Ratbone, and I am hoping that this year's will be the very best yet, especially now that we have the support of all you wonderful people here at rat-terrier.com and the fact that this years quilt project is lovingly dedicated to Basil Ratbone, Caroline's first Rat Terrier, who started it all for Ratbone 
Caroline created a webpage on how to applique, check it out! Makes it look easy, doesn't she?

For the last three years Ratbone Rescues has participated in an annual Quilt Project. This has always been a good fund-raiser for us, and has helped to pay many vet bills and shelter fees.
We are beginning our drive for quilt squares early this year, with the hope that we can gather enough squares to make a KING-sized quilt. Therefore, we are asking all our friends and supporters to help us make this the biggest, most beautiful Quilt Project that Ratbone Rescues has ever had.
This year ALL the proceeds of the Ratbone Rescues Quilt Project will go to Ratbone Rescues, to be used for vet bills and shelter fees. Please help us save more dogs in 2008 by making a quilt square for this fund-raiser.
Quilt squares may be made using appliqué or embroidery. Please do not use fabric paint, as not all fabric paint is permanent and/or washable. Please do not use iron-ons, as they can wear off or be washed and/or ironed off (or scratched off by a burrowing Rattie). We want our quilt to last 100 years, and become a family heirloom for the winner!
You need not quilt your squares - that will done after all the squares are put together. This year we would like to have all quilt squares completed and mailed to the Quilt Coordinator Mary Young no later than May 30th. Be sure to write to Mary at misyoung@insightbb.com to get on the Quilter's update list. And when you send in your Quilt squares be sure to mark them for the Ratbone Rescues Quilt.
Here are some links that give all the pertinent details, as well as tips for beginners (I can personally vouch for how helpful they can be!):
