In between many other tasks related to house, children and work, I am thrilled to say that I have finished the back of Thoughts on Dots<\/span>. I really buckled down and took every spare moment to work on it. HOORAY!!!!!!<\/p>\n

The back is even larger than the top, which made it harder to photograph, but here is an image anyway.

The squares are the reject dot squares which I did not use in the top. The lavendar and beige square in your upper right hand corner is the label. I decided to use the beige for three reasons:
1) I did not want to piece together 100 FQs of dots;
2) I had large-ish pieces of beige (bought them at a time when I thought I might use them as backgrounds); and
3) I decided I did not want to take away from the front. I wanted it to be clear that the front was the main showcase. <\/p>\n

I did piece the back, because I have a enough fabric to do so and because I wanted it to be unique. I do see the attraction of buying 107″ wide fabric and just sewing one seam to make the back, however. <\/p>\n

Above is a detail of the top of the back.<\/p>\n

Above are a couple of details of the other side of the top including the label. Take the term “detail” with a grain of salt!<\/p>\n

I made the label by creating a Word document and then print the ‘document’ on fabric.<\/p>\n

Above shows the only problem. I think that I may have to take off the beige piece on which I have drawn a line, because it is too wide. I think it would work better if I put it on the outside. That way, I can trim the back after it gets quilted. I don’t want to hack of part of the block that has the label in it or any of the squares. I know it is just the back, but I still want it to look good. I don’t remember right at the moment whether I pieced that beige as all one piece or if I will have to unsew multiple pieces. <\/p>\n

And finally, below, here is a better (not great, but better) image of Thoughts on Dots<\/span>:\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5040907237269516418\"<\/a>
Part of the day’s chores involved moving furniture form one room to another. While my workroom does not look fantastic and I lost some shelf space, I do have floor space, once again. YAY! I was able spread the quilt top out on the floor. It nearly fits. Unfortunately, I didn’t actually fit in the room so the image is still a bit wonky. Hopefully, however, faithful readers, you get a beter idea of how cheerful it is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
