Christmas gifts from the heart

So I know this isn't a quilting blog or anything, but I have been sewing a lot lately and so for Christmas I decided to make rag quilts for my two nieces. One is going to be a pink doggy and one is going to be a purple cat. And both will have the other's colors in it for the eyes, nose, and ears. So far I got all the parts for the dog cut out and most of them sewn as individual pieces as of right now.

Once I'm finished each will be 50'' inches long.

So this is what the head of the dog looks like without being sewn together and with a dark pink piece replacing a piece another piece that I have yet to get to yet. This almost takes up my love's mother's sewing table.

I am also planning on making something for both my sister's and my brother, but just in case they read this I'm not going to say what it is until after Christmas.

I will post updates of my progress as I get further along and hopefully on Christmas I'll be able to post pictures of my nieces with them.
