In September 2006 I decided to remodel my 1953 kitchen and have the hardwood floors refinished. I knew I needed a project that was bright, cheery, and all laid out for me to work on in that time period. A quilt like this one was on the cover of "Follow the Dots to Dazzling Quilt" by Segma and Crow. I was pretty sure I had most of the dotted fabrics I would need to make it.
To make what they called the Scrappy version, I would need 168 different dotted fabrics. How many of you are surprised when I say I had that many on hand in my fabric collection? I have shown you my batiks. I haven't shown you all of my kid prints, dotted fabrics, plaids, and a few more. That would be sensory overload don't you think? So this one is still a top; I haven't decided what the border should be.

I sold all but one, and I can't find it this morning, but if I find it later I will list it on my blog-shop.
