This weekend DH was out of town judging a Jr. Miss pagent. (I think he and the other judge, who judge together frequently) have a lot more fun than the girls. Anyway, I took this opportunity to get started on Dotty. To the right you will see all, I think, of the purple blocks. I say "I think" because there is no pattern for this so I am really figuring it out as I go.
Anyway, as soon as I had these blocks on the wall I just had to set one block together, just to see how it looked in real life. Good, although with just one color it is kind of drab.
So I got busy and made the orange blocks. Now I love orange but even that didn't do a whole lot for this plan.
However, once I had four colors on that wall, the quilt started to really come alive. I am so impressed, and I still have two more colors to go.
Here is a three, well almost three, block layout using the four colors. I just think it sings and my sewing room in the studio is so happy.
I have a lot of household work and errands to do tomorrow so I don't know if I will get back to the studio or not but I sure hope so.
Be sure to stop by Judy's blog to see what everyone else is doing. Judy is my inspiration, you know.

That dotty quilt surely DOES say "happy". :)
It really does come to life when you get the other colors up there. This is going to be a great quilt.
Very fun!
Love your process on this one. I find I am drawn to secondary colours and this one makes me happy. thanks for sharing.
Very fun and happy quilt.
Love that Dotty quilt and I think you are right, introducing other colors really makes it "pop". Great job!
It's going to be fantastic when you get it finished. Such Fun!
Way cool! I love it. Man, do I want one!
