About a year and a half ago I saw a magazine article with a quilt hanging in the background. The quilt was very scrappy and simply had dots all over it. I loved it! I thought about it for a while, then decided I had to try and recreate it! So, my mind began coming up with ideas and looking through my scraps. I began cutting and dreaming of having that quilt. I knew that my first goal of 2012 would have to be to finish (or should I say start :o) this quilt! So, I introduce to you, Scrappy Dots!
I'm excited about how this quilt turned out. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it! It might be Callie's big girl quilt when she gets a new bed, but I'm not sure! I loved the process of cutting up my scraps and using many different colors!
Even as I look at the pictures I sort of giggle. It is different!
I decided to try and do the most quilting on this quilt that I've ever done. I did diagonal lines about and inch apart all throughout. It did take a while, but I love the crinkly effect! I also chose to use no batting since we live in the tropics! I just used a light flannel for the back. It is so soft!
And here's my label. No quilt is done without one!
My first finish of 2012! I'm already on my next project. I cut all of it last night. But, this one has a deadline since it's a gift, so I need to get busy!
I am absolutely in LOVE! I have always wanted to start quilting, and this makes me want to even more!

ReplyDeleteHello. I found your blog from Crazy Mom Quilts and I wanted to say that I really love your dots quilt! It looks so fun!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I are missionaries as well, to 3 Native American reservations in northern Wisconsin. We have 7 children, the youngest being 5 1/2 months old, and I home school the eldest 4 (4th, 3rd, 2nd, and kindergarten). I blog at The Days Dewings (www.dewings.us/blog/) as often as I can (which isn't as much as I'd like!).
I'm excited for you with the soon-to-be arrival of your newest one!
Aw, this is a fun one!
ReplyDeleteReally cute! I love the circles and the colors. I made a circles quilt in December for my newest niece, and had a lot of fun with it.
