D is for Dots - The Quilt




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
Nancy S, and  Cherie M.

(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.

"Indeed, your biggest challenge may be to fully harness your strengths. You may be so busy trying to appear like a zestful, reward-sensitive extrovert that you undervalue your own talents, or feel underestimated by those around you. But when you're focused on a project that you care about, you probably find that your energy is boundless."
(Susan Cain from her book - 
Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking)

Great happy quilt! I would love to do 1" borders- got a trick to keep them nice and straight?

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.

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.
