I happened to have a stack of 3" squares already cut, which was good since I also have had some wrist pain recently that I know comes from rotary cutting and knitting (all the fun activities).
Each individual block is a 4 x 4 16-patch and 10" square finished. I thought it would make the dogs pop more to make them the center of stars in the quilt. I was one dog short, so one block has a red star with no dog. The corner dogs are not "stars" as I made those before I hit on the idea of the stars. You might notice some cat fabrics sprinkled in among the light fabrics.
As it turns out, while I've been making this quilt top, Debra found the perfect dog fabric for the border, so this one will go back to her for completion, and then it will be donated. This part of the quilt is about 50 x 60"so the finished quilt will be about twin sized.
