| Having "fun" late at night! |
"This is quilting, we are not saving the world we are saving ourselves, so we might as well have a little fun with it."
Oh yah... I'm supposed to be having fun here!
So instead of agonizing over the pieces not fitting together, and doing endless math calculations to make things fit, I just decided to sew pieces together and hack off the ends! I made 5 rows, added some hunks to the ends, cut them all to be the same size, and sewed them together. Then I added a border from leftover pieces and ta-da...
I'm delighted to say that "Dots and Dashes" has finally become a quilt top!

| Dots and Dashes quilt top |
This quilt was started last June when I received some fabrics from Sarah for making a Hands2Help quilt. I combined those gifts with strips and 1.5" squares leftover from one of my favourite quilts called Starburst. I'm so happy these little bits found a quilt to be sewn into and can't wait to quilt this one now! Woohoo!

Way to handle rows that didn't measure up. Congrats on your finish for June. Sew Scrappy!
What a lovely way to look at your project. I like the final result!
Definitely looks like you had fun with this one. Happy quilting!
I think that's what we're supposed to do with improv. Let go of the stress and either add on or hack it off. It looks wonderful! Kudos to you for plowing through the decision making and getting it finished.:)
This turned out to be really pretty. Those chunks add so much interest and doesn't look like you took any shortcuts at all.
It turned out great! I like your attitude about it. The fun shows through.
Very fun quilt top. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and congrats on your finish!

I love your sentiments and good for you for sewing and hacking and mostly importantly, having fun! the whimsical placements looks great.
I love this quilt! It's so appealing in its simplicity. You should write a pattern and sell it!
