Dotty 4 U


Bloggers' Quilt Festival


This was motivated by our Alpenglow Quilting Group. They did these bull's eye quilts over the winter. I picked up some scraps one day and just started cutting circles. The entire quilt is made from scraps, except for a yard of backing. It makes a great table topper in my dining room. The top-stitched circles are supposed to fray when I wash it but I don't wash my quilts until I have to. I know a lot of you like to wash your quilts as you finish them, but I like to enjoy the crisp, clean look awhile before I wash mine. I decided to just cross hatch it on my machine because it was small enough to do it and I'm kind of into cross hatching lately. Anyway, this is the most recent quilt I have finished so I am using it for Blogger's Quilt Festival, but it's not really a favorite. If you check some of my older posts you will see much nicer quilts.

    Such a fun quilt! Did you make whole circles first and then cut them apart? Love the fabric scraps that you used and also love your backing material.

    I adore scrap quilts and this one is so pretty. Those colours are sublime. This just gives me a thrill to look at it!

    I have a raw edge circle quilt I finished last August that still hasn't been washed yet!
