A friend asked mo to quilt a wall hanging as going-away gift for her
co-worker. She wants sometime along the theme of "dogs playing
poker".
I saw a panel 36x44, but I think that may be a bit too garrish for
someone to hang on an office wall.
I've never done a wall hanging and need ideas.

thinking....
broderie perse from some dog fabric, add some cards either same way as dogs
or design some.
as for dogs playing i'd think if ya dont want the actual panel its gonna be
quite a project to get it to look right.
if the co-worker is into cards, why not just something with cards on it.
do three card trick blocks in a row to hang longways, 1 x 3 ft wide.
add a heart/club/spade/diamond machine appliqued on it somewhere.
that could hang on anyones wall without worry bout the look of it.
i suppose it will depend on how much time/energy you want to put into this.
tis all i a can think of at the moment.

You are such a good friend! IMO this request is so peculiar that your panel
might not even be garish enough :-) I'd go with the panel. If you want to
tone it down, do something like a "convergence": Slice the panel into
vertical strips, maybe 2" wide (you decide) and alternate with strips of a
contrast fabric. Something neutral like the black paw prints on tan, if you
think it fits. Then your garish panel suddenly becomes art!

Oh, yea, attic windows is a good idea. I can use various dog fabric
with that block.
