96. Goin' Dotty

In 2010 I signed up for a block of the month from Quiltin' Cousins in Pismo Beach. Each month I would get fabric that contained only fabric with dots. 

About the same time, I had started collecting selvages. All kinds of selvages, but specifically those with the name "dot". It all started with a line of fabric by Michael Miller called Dumb Dot, which I thought was the funniest name for a fabric. I was hooked. 

Several friends went on a shop hop along the Central Coast and at every stop I looked for any kind of fabric that had dots, and then checked out the selvage. If it contained the word "dot" I bought it. When I I sewed the quilt top together, I pieced all those "dotty" words into the setting stones--each one is different.

The one that started it all!!
