I May Be Dense but the Quilting Isn't

Dots and Dashes

84 x 96

224 six inch shoo fly blocks made of polka dots and stripes.

Some blocks (maybe half?) came from a couple of swaps and I made the rest.

Sometimes it's difficult to match up seams and triangles on swapped blocks but overall it all turned out okay.  The quilt is so busy I don't think anyone will notice a few mismatched seams or points. )If they do...they have a problem ).   And the quilt is so loud it may keep someone awake at night. 

No dense quilting...just a few lines either side of the middle section of the blocks.  I wrestled it through my dinky little plain Jane Janome DSM. 

And the back looks like this. 

And for the binding I used some brown polka dots and stripes. 

Speaking of binding...I'll link this post up at the end of the month to Julie's Binding Blitz. 

I can mark another UFO off my list.  Yahoo! 

This was goal number 12 for the Q2 Finish Along. 

Today I'm linking up to:

Still Following Along on the Drunkard's Path

And that makes 72 - 6 inch blocks with 48 more to go. 

Sewing along on the Drunkard's Path with Vicki Welsh of Field Trips in Fiber. 

Usually I Don't Stray Far Off the Beaten Path...

...but somehow I ended up following a Drunkard's Path QAL with Vick Welsh.  

I guess I fell on to the bandwagon. 

I couldn't decide which fabrics to use. 

My  self imposed rule is that new quilts pretty much have to be made from my horde cache for awhile. 

I think the polka dots and stripes combination will create the dizzying effect of too much drinking- just perfect for a Drunkard's Path. 

I have no fabric cutter except for my scissors and hands so it takes awhile to cut these pieces. 

Each block of four matching sections finishes at 6 inches.
