Animals are popular themes in quilts. Most of us quilters are animal lovers of some kind, so it isn’t surprising that the Scotty Dog Quilt Block has been a quilter favorite for many years. One of my dearest quilting buddies has a pet Scotty dog, and a few weeks back she was on the hunt for a Scotty Dog Quilt Block to use in a project. I was able to round up several varieties, and will be posting them here as I get them illustrated.

The first one is a pieced version designed in a 6×6 grid, so a 6″ block can easily be drafted of this design.
