I commented in a previous post that the addition of gold paint dots is very permanent, so once I start, there is no way to stop.   I’m still mulling this over.

On the left of this pic is the first finished quilt in this series.  There was a lot of positive response to the possibility of doing dots when I first posted on FB, asking my friends whether or not to continue the dots….and so I went ahead, with a great result.   However, the one beside it., right, with the red ochre binding, is a lot larger, and a totally different design.   It’s also much more recent.   (I don’t think it gives too much away  – for non-art quilters,  there’s this ‘thing’ about previously ‘published’ works being entered in certain art quilt calls for entry)

This most recent in the series shows a portion, above, in very close detail.   I have heaps of this gold thread on hand, exactly matching the gold pinspot/black..  As I work, there’s lots of  stopping and restarting, with approximately 50% of thread wastage; but as I toss those offcuts to the floor around the waste basket, I don’t mind one bit knowing I have plenty on hand  🙂
