Here is my Dot to Dot quilt that I made following a class by Angela Walters. I started is on my Bernina but moved it to Tabitha, my HandiQuilter. This was my monthly goal for September and I did finish it!
Here are all a few of the fun patterns I learned. There are plenty in this course, I highly recommend it. I liked doing it with rulers but some you can see I had done free hand. If you are interested in the course, Dot to Dot with Angela Walters, it is available at Bluprint*.
This class called for maybe some more straight lines in the printed section, but I wanted to do something to soften it a bit in the patterned part on this side. I created a design from the quilt fabric – cloud and rainbows. It was a great aha moment. The fabric is Moda, Stellar Baby Blue Aqua and one of the Kona greys – the name escapes me.
My plan is to try to sell it in the boutique at our guild show this weekend. Since it was a quilting practice piece, I would like to wash it, but am never sure if that is helpful for sales. I also may run out of time

I finished my 2019 Monthly Color Challenge from Patterns by Jen! It was a fun block and boy do I love the Island Batik scraps I used for this. I can’t wait to put this together, only 3 more months, its going to be a bright sampler block quilt!

I’m enjoying seeing your machine quilting skills develop! Your work is really beautiful!
Hi Kathleen! You are ahead of me in the Angela challenge. I bought the kit and then did nothing with it. Truthfully, I didn’t care for the fabric or the layout so I’m eventually going to do something else with it. I did, however, follow along with all of the videos if that counts for anything. HAHA! I love the finish and the quilting, and selling it in the guild shop sounds like a wonderful option. Your September block is so pretty and delicate-looking. Just three more months to go! ~smile~ Roseanne
I really wanted to have it done for Hands 2 Help, but missed that by quite a bit. I love the way the September block turned out – two more good finishes always always makes me happy.
Love your D2D stitching! I’ve had this class from when it was just Craftsy. Funny thing is, I “rediscovered” it recently when I saw she had also done a YouTube series on some of the D2D concepts. Seeing it was a case of perfect timing because I have a QOV top I want to quilt and the ideas I was considering for it line up perfectly with the D2D concepts and motifs! Also love the peek of that Fall colored quilt on your bed — reminds me it’s time to change out the quilts around the house for the season.
It was a great class and I really enjoyed learning all I did. Glad my blog jogged your memory – both for quilting and changing your quilt on your bed!
You and Tabitha are becoming one, love how well you are quilting, one day a real conversation about long arming, just won’t mention it to the Hubby. hee hee
Hey, you are doing great if you are selling your practice pieces! Glad you are enjoying Tabitha so much.
I own that class, I own her first book shape by shape where she showed several of the dot to dot patterns, AND I attended a class with her teaching Dot to Dot! I use it all the time; I’m using some of it in the current quilt. You did a great job on this. I also love the block too. You are certainly churning them out!
The quilting is a lot of fun!! Thanks for linking up to Finished or Not Finished Friday!!
