Completely Dotty finished!

Here's the final product. I really slammed this one out. Interesting considering it sat around for at least four years. Since reading an article on revising a UFO, I have felt inspired to dig out my languishing projects and see what I might change in order to get them finished. And I have plenty of dotty fabric left over to make the back and binding.

Completely Dotty

After years of ignoring this project I am suddenly compelled to finish it. It started with reading Pat Sloan's tips about finishing UFOs. I took these blocks out and dicovered I had enough completed to make a small quilt. The pattern called for paper piecing the sashing and borders but I decided not to do that since I don't like paper piecing. I have plenty of dotty fabric to make setting triangles, backing and binding. I stayed up really late working on this; note the time on this post!

Design Wall Monday

Here's what's on today:

This is a UFO that has been hanging around a long time. The circles are paper pieced in quarters. After starting this I realized that I don't really like paper piecing. Last week I read Pat Sloan's blog about tips for dealing with UFOs. So I decided to pull this one out and see how much I had done. I had enough quarters to make these five blocks. There were supposed to be 9 total. I'm going to figure out a way to make a baby quilt with just these. I looked through Sharon Craig's books and I'm going to let a few ideas percolate this week.
