Ruby Red Dots: Fanciful Circle-Inspired Designs

Add a dash of panache to your quilts with whimsical dotted designs.

Quilt designer Sheri Howard shows you how in this delightful collection of appliqué quilts and quilted projects. Perfect for a block-of-the-month program, the feature quilt spotlights 12 free-spirited appliqué blocks inspired by the author’s imagination. An artful array of red dots lends a fanciful flourish to each block as well as the borders.

Four additional projects offer colorful variations on the dot theme. Large red circles take center stage in a striking brown-and-red companion quilt that combines appliqué with piecework. If you prefer smaller, easy-to-make projects, you’ll love Sheri’s charming table runner or heartwarming baby quilt complete with a matching quilted pillow.

Sheri also shares her time-tested tips for making appliqué easier with a handy freezer-paper method.
