Paper piecing is a type
of quilt making in which you sew patches
directly onto a paper template (foundation). You then join the
different sections to construct the full quilt. The technique allows tremendous
precision and can be used for nearly every type of pieced quilt, including this elegant Afghan dog.

Phread on the Run by Lisa Fryxell
The grace, beauty and aloofness of the Afghan Hound comes alive in Lisa Fryxell's interpretation of BaiJai's 'Phread' of New York.
Lisa Fryxell says, "Phread was well known around the Clinton Corners, NY area as he would take his owner, Kate Anderson (Verbeke) for daily 5-mile runs along with his sister Afghan. Kate was later recognized as 'The lady who runs with the dogs.' "
As of this writing, the paper-piecing pattern is available at Lisa's Prefurred Quilt Shop on Etsy (see Running Afghan.)
