Finally! I made it for my 25 year old niece, Andrada. She loves pink.
The dot fabrics are from the Ta Dot collection by Michael Miller.
I can’t wait to find out what she thinks about it…
What could I say about it ? “Heavy quilting” is my name!
Even tough at first I thought I can’t finish it before my retirement, it was actually a quick quilting. I looked at the clock: 20 minutes for a block with 24 wedges. Thanks to my speedy Jack – the sewing machine. But I couldn’t do it all in one day!
Initially, I wanted to stitch some radial or circular motifs, then I thought the bubble quilting matches better the dot fabric.
I am so glad I used a little black! I took the advice of one my friends: “I add a little black to all my quilts!”. Thank you, Michele! It’s a good advice!
Surprisingly, I don’t feel sorry that my dot stash is substantially reduced! I could make this pattern again and again…
Happy quilting!
Oh I love how it turned out! I've had my eye on dresdens lately, and have been seeing lots of 'new' ways to do them. This one may take the cake!
A wonderfull quilt for your niece.

Hello! I've had your quilt pinned for several weeks now, and I'm going to attempt to make one for a friend's new baby girl. Can you tell me how wide you cut each of your fabrics to make the striped parts? What about the finished block size? Any help you could give would be very appreciated! Thanks for the inspiration and great tutorial; I'm just waiting for my 15 degree ruler to arrive 🙂
This is spectacular work! Just gorgeous.
Oh, my heavens! I am in love!!
WoW!! What an eye-popping beautiful quilt. I am totally impressed. I can see there are going to be dots in my future. Thanks for sharing. :O)
