Lots of Dots Tutorial and a Big Announcement!...

Good morning cute people!
Today's post is all about circles. 


This week I have been sewing for a new pattern called
"Lots of Dots"
so I thought it would fit right in with the blog hop!

So I made lots of small circles....


And lots of medium circles...


And lots of larger circles...


And lots of even larger 4 patch circles!


And guess what I used to make all of them?
Introducing the 
by Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet
Yay!
I am finally able to announce that I am now designing my own collection of quilting rulers and templates!
They will have a worldwide distribution  through the fabulous
wooohooo!


My first three rulers shapes 
(I will announce the other 2 shapes at a later date)
are designed to fit precut fabrics...
 and the first shape to be released at is the "Circle Ruler".
These rulers come in 4 different sizes and are sold together as a set.

The circles can be used with a rotary cutter but for the project I am doing today...I used them as templates.


The smallest works perfectly with a 2 1/2" square...making it easy to use with a 2 1/2" strip of fabric.


Or you can also use the smallest circle ruler to get 4 circles from a 5" square precut. 


The next size up fits the 5" square precut too!


The next size fits a 7" square of fabric...


And the largest size in the set fits a 10" square!
For my new pattern I sewed four 5" squares together into a 4 patch and then laid my large circle ruler on the back of the block and lined up the marked lines on the ruler with the seam...


And traced around the edge with a mechanical pencil.


I cut a square of lightweight non-fusible Pellon interfacing....



And pinned my marked 4 patch with the right side onto the Pellon.


I took it over to my machine and stitched directly onto my marked line...completely around the circle and making sure to backstitch at the beginning and the end.

*It helps to use an open toe foot for this so that you can see exactly where your needle is going into the fabric.


After sewing the circle...I trimmed an approximate 1/4" seam allowance all the way around...


like this.


Then I lifted the Pellon away from the circle and cut a slit for turning.
I used scissors for this because they were right there and handy...but a seam ripper works great also.


The slit does not have to be very long...


Just long enough to turn right side out like this.


Smooth the edges and then press flat...


And you have a completed perfectly shaped circle the exact size of the ruler!


I machine appliqued a prepared smaller circle onto the center of the 4 patch.

Then I pressed a white background square in half both ways to mark the center...
and centered my 4 patch circle on top and pinned it into place...


and machine appliqued the large 4 patch circle to the white square.


I continued making lots of dots...




Using all 4 sizes of the Circle Rulers...



and using my machine to appliqué.


And here is the "Lots of Dots" quilt!
I'm happy to say that I designed this new quilt pattern...
specifically to go with the 
"Circle Rulers" 
I have also designed a new quilt pattern to go with each of my other rulers too!


The Lots of Dots quilt was made using my newest fabric collection...
Polka Dot Stitches

I hope you like my new rulers and new patterns...I've been having so much fun with them:)
xx
Lori

you circles would sure come in handy for me i am always having to draw new circles and squares to match a design i have done before. the quilt is real cute too. have you ever thought about a full round skirt or a jacket done with the dots? i bet they would be cute too.

Dhia said...

Love it, beautiful quilt!

Mary said...

The circle ruler/templates look like a really handy group! I think they're a great idea and will have to add them to my collection. And I love the fabric and quilt!!!

smilingwoman said...

I especially love the 4-patch dots with center circles... they look like flowers! Can hardly wait to see what your other shapes will be!

Bailey said...

I really like how you thought about the sizes and precuts! I like precuts b/c it gives me lots of fabric candy instead of just a yard or two of a fabric line. Great pattern too!

Terri in BC said...

I was just thinking about making a set of circles out of Mylar, but I love your Circle Rulers so versatile. I will definitely be buying a set!

Rosemary said...

Marjorie's Busy Corner said...

Well; from what I see here...I need those rulers...lol. They look fantastic!! and so does the pattern. Congrats to you girl!! thanks for the giveaway

Diann said...

You made a very cute project. I think your circle template will turn out to be very useful. Things I like about them: that they are clear to help with placement on fabric, that the centers are marked, that there are lines to divide them into quarters, and that they can be used with rotary cutters. These will definitely go on my wish list.

Maria Kievit said...

Really like how you took that idea a little step further, in making your own dots! Thanks for sharing.

FlourishingPalms said...

Your new circle rulers are better than others I've seen, for two reasons: 1) the sizes "match" available pre-cut fabrics, and 2) perpendicular lines marked on the acrylic are helpful for making sure seams are aligned. You've come up with great notions! Thanks for the chance to win your giveaway.

Out of almost 600 entries, why should you pick my name? Because I think your template is right on target, especially where it is made for precuts. Very cool, indeed, and looks like a blast to work with!

I think curves are always challenging so a special ruler like this is awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Cool rulers. Congratulations. I've used your technique for making circles and love it - I find using pinking shears helps with getting a smoother circle - you can get close and don't have to make little snips for smoothing. Love, love, love your quilt!!

Your quilts is sew beautiful! I love all the fabric combos and I have to say, that circle ruler looks awesome especially being able to use it with a rotary cutter.

Your rulers look like they work perfectly. You sure made lots and lots of circles/dots. I was so excited to find out what you'd made with all those circles/dots. What an amazing quilt - just darling. You did good - great - fantastic!!
