When we were in India, I often saw women “drawing” Rangoli designs in front of their houses. (They are actually sprinkling rice powder to form the designs).
Some of the designs started with dots used as guides for where the lines were to be drawn….
I often wondered if I could do the same with Free-Motion Quilting….. lay dots down and then quilt around them.
While scrolling Facebook reels the other day, I came across a drawing demonstration that ended up with this design…..
Now I am REALLY thinking about using dots to guide my quilting.
I am going to give it a try on the Orange/Green charity quilt that I am currently working on.
STAY TUNED!!

Could you use beads to form the dots. looking forward to show.
That would add a new dimension to it. Thanks Jodie
Frances that is amazing. But how did you figure out which way to go around the dots.
Thanks Jodie. I practiced it a LOT before I started quilting. There was one spot where I always messed up and I messed it up when I quilted it the first time. But, I just kept quilting over those same lines again and again until I had it in my head!
You are amazing. I love your confidence
Might as well be confident until I prove that I CAN’T do it!!
