D is for Dots is done.
Max and I had a really good time quilting this one.
Created for the Nov. 2017 Davies Quilt Show Challenge,
I used both of the required fat quarters
(pink and oval spotted on white)
for the prescribed one-inch inner borders.
(quilt top reveal post here
including a list of the D words represented)
The scrappy greens and some of
the "D" fabrics came from my stash.
The other "D" pieces were contributed by
(and DH gets credit for suggesting Dory)
I ended up with six unique dog-related fabrics
so I used those to jazz up the quilt's backing.
Younger son helped with this photo shoot
at one of our local playgrounds.

Great happy quilt! I would love to do 1" borders- got a trick to keep them nice and straight?
What a fun finish! It looks great.
Oh so cute! Dogs, dominoes, Dory, daisies--darling? What's the next letter? :)
What a fun quilt! It's a perfect size for a nap quilt, or car or TV quilt, too.
This is so beautiful! I really like the dots you added with the quilting.
D is for darling!
And I'm definitely an introvert (x 10) so the book sounds interesting or should I say Delightful!
I love what you've done with the challenge. You stayed true to you!
I'm encouraged by the quote, I might have to get that book.
Thanks for sharing.
Darling, delightful and hunky Dori!
Its so cute - I love the green background and the quilting does look like fun. Great job!
Beautiful and D-LIGHTFUL quilt, Julie! I really like the way you quilted it, too.
I like the way you've used the challenge fabrics- those little borders are very effective. Another fab finish!
