Whoever is in a hurry shows that the thing he is about is too big for him. –Lord Chesterfield
I've been doing a little quilting. I've been going ‘round and ‘round in circles. I've got all the little dots done.
And a handful of the big dots. I wanted everything about this quilt to be circles and dots and spots. The quilting inside the spots is inspired by Amber's Dot-to-Dot quilt. Don't look too closely. It is a little bit wonky. The big dots are trickier than the small ones.
I love polka-dots so much that I'm making two polka-dotted quilts. The one above, which I'm calling Seeing Spots, is a gift for a very special aunt. And I'm making one for myself. I had a few minutes to fill, so I worked on the label for that quilt and I can't wait to start putting it together.
I'm off to quilt more circles. My goal is to get this finished by the end of the week and in the mail.
[P.S. Shay, the dohickeys on the pins are Grip Covers {you can only see one in this post in the 2nd photo above}. They don't make basing more accurate, but they do make the pins easier to handle.]

I'll have to keep my eye out for those E.
I love the concentric circles you;re quilting. I think they always look so good!
Your spiral quilting looks great! Do you use FMQ or a walking foot? Any tips to share?
The dots look fantastic. I also am curious how you quilt it.

I love dots too! When I went fabric shopping the other day, I purchased four new fabrics with dots in them :) Your quilt is so cute!
The quilting design is just perfect for the dots! :-)

Your quilting is looking great Elizabeth. I've sewn the first four quarter circles together. Only how many to go!
I really like the different sized circles. It will make a wonderful gift. The dots are wonderful.
This quilt is so fabulous!
It really looks great!
Love the circle quilting, Elizabeth! I think quilting all those spirals might drive me a little "dotty," but you are doing a fabulous job!
Great work. Those circles would be very difficult to keep accurate and repeat. Loving that pattern. Lane
Cute circle quilting!
