German Shepherd

About this pattern

This cheerful German Shepherd stands tall on a bright green meadow, his classic black and tan coat rendered in bold geometric patches of golden amber, deep black, and warm cream. A jaunty red bandana ties at his neck, his pink tongue lolls in a happy grin, and alert ears lined with rosy pink give him an irresistibly lively personality. The folk-art landscape behind him layers vivid lime and forest greens for rolling grass, a glittering blue river, dark pine-tree silhouettes, green hills and cream clouds against a bright blue sky, with a brown tree trunk framing the upper corner and cheerful white daisy blooms dotting the foreground.

Every element of this design is built from confident, angular fabric shapes that make raw-edge fusible applique both approachable and deeply satisfying to assemble.

🌿 Thank you for supporting a small independent quilt-pattern studio. Happy stitching - there's always something bright and beautiful on the way at WildbloomQuilts. 🌸

Every pattern in this shop is my own work, from the first line to the last page. I draw each design by hand as an original vector illustration in Adobe Illustrator, then develop it into a ready-to-sew applique pattern - every cutting line, every fabric colour, every template page and instruction. Each one takes time and a lot of care, and I hope that comes through when you stitch it.
