Winner winner....dots for dinner....

The dots on dots blog hop has sadly come to an end. I was happy to get lots of great feedback from lots of new people. I still haven't figured out how to number my comments or get the random number generator from random.org to show up on my blog. I used my husband as a random number generator and he choose #23. If I didn't count wrong the winner is....

I love the neutral block all by itself, and would never have thought to add the dots -- what a POP! I am a new follower!

I have sent off an email, so please get back to me with your mailing address and you will have dots coming your way.

WINNING!!!!

If I counted wrong I apologize to whomever I shafted....

Sandra at Sharp Quilts brought this swap to my attention and I couldn't resist. The cut off is today so hurry hurry hurry.....

Gabby's Stars

My step daughter Gabby has decided that a trip to our local Ben Franklin's is a treat. So much so that she willingly cleans her room and makes her bed. I haven't had the heart to break it to her that it is also the closest quilt shop and chances are we will be going there whether she wants to or not. On one such trip there she decided that she wanted me to make her a quilt for Christmas. She decided on Red and Blue for the colors. She hates pink though so I have to make sure there are no pinkish reds. I decided to go with an 8 point star/sawtooth star block pattern with different centers. Here is what I have accomplished so far.

 Don't forget about the two giveaways still going on for Blogger's BOM Kick Off and the Dots On Dots Blog Hop become a follower and leave a comment.

Dots on Dots Blog Hop

This is the block I made for the dots on dots  blog hop. I used neutral fabrics for my background in various widths of strips. I cut 1.5, 1.75 and 2 inch strips. I paired like width strips, sewed them together, then cut 12.5 inch strips to create the background. I cut out various circles of dotty fabrics and wonder undered them to the background block. I hand stitched these since the machine wasn't working out for me. The final block needs a press and sadly i'm not in a position to do it. I am giving away the fat quarter pack of dotty fabrics below,  become a follower and leave a comment. Check out the other bloggers on the blog hope today.
