FABRIC TUESDAY 100!!
What a milestone!
Once I got my hands on a stash of the new Sarah Jane Out to Sea line, my brain exploded with ideas. I am sure you will see many of my creations, Megan is not the only one playing with this fabric!
I wanted to create a quilt that didn't make you chop up all your fabrics into tiny pieces. Most of these prints you want to keep big and show off! So I came up with this idea, giant polka dots! I love how it showcases each fabulous print.
I love how the pattern created these scattered dots (which i was going to name this pattern)
In the end I went with "Dottie." Cute?
I had a ton of fun with the quilting, even though it took HOURS! I wanted to create "bubbles," I love them. Then I spiraled inside each dot just for something different. I really love the effect!
As much as I would love to let you all think that this may be my backyard, sadly, it isn't. It is my Mom and Dads. She does this all herself! Everything she ever plants, no matter the soil or climate grows beautifully!
My yard looks a lot like where those giant trucks that come take your garbage away, where they dump their garbage. My yard is a lot closer to that than my Mothers yard. She is so ashamed! (as am I)
The backing. I love the swirls within the dots, looks pretty neat!

Oh, I love your quilt! I've really fallen for this line of fabric, especially the mermaids at play - just ordered a bunch of it to keep on hand for stroking and maybe making something. But now I may have to order a FQ bundle! So cute!!!
the different quilting highlights the design, very pretty. Dottie is a cute name.
Cute quilt! Dottie is a great name. Sounds like your mom and my mom have a lot in common. The green thumb and embarrassment over my lack of one!
Great quilt! I love those fabrics and I think that pattern works really well with them.
Such a perfect pattern for those fabulous Sarah Jane prints!! I love the name Dottie:) The swirls are so fun!!
lovely quilt and bubbles are great, but they do take a loong time!
How fun! I love quilts that showcase the larger prints...they're just too awesome to cut up!
Thanks for hosting and sharing with us!
Lovely quilt and congrats on so many Fabric Tuesdays!
Congrats on hitting 100!! :) The quilting on Dottie is just gorgeous - looks like it was definitely worth the extra time it took!
What a fantastic quilt! I love the quilting. It was well worth the time it took!
love the 'Dottie' pattern! it is such a fabulous way to show of fabrics you love :)
AGH!! I LOVE this line of fabric! I've been waiting to see what others will do with it. I love your Dottie quilt! It's gorgeous! And, don't feel bad about your backyard. I bet mine is worse. ;)
What a beautiful quilt!
I love the new pattern! And it looks great in this fabric line! :)
Your quilt is beautiful! I love the design and your fmq looks fab :)
This is adorable! I love the pattern and the way you quilted it. I have a stack of Out to Sea myself that I'll be using to make a floor quilt for the family room, but I just can't decide what pattern to use. It's great to see the fabric in use...ideas are starting to spin...
A gorgeous quilt and such a fun pattern! =D
What a fun quilt with such cute fabric! Pretty!
