"Dotty Dots" and a slice of Pi

I just couldn't think up a better name, so "Dotty Dots" it is.  After seeing my friend, Darlene make a circle quilt, it inspired me to make one too.

Since it is National Pi Day .... this is the perfect quilt to show.  Lots and lots of circles.  So why pi and circles?  Because pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter and now you know why there are lots of quilts with circles being shown today.  To celebrate,  we will have meat pie (tourtiere) and a salad for supper tonight and perhaps a round cookie for dessert.

Pi Day 2021

Today is Pi Day.  Let's see what I've done with circles so far this year.

Back in January, my "Wheels on the Cart" top got finished.  This top is at the LAer and I'm hoping to pick it up on Tuesday along with another two quilts.  Anticipation!!

"Lotta Tulips" is still at this stage.  Borders need to be added.  Talk about circles in this top!  Gazillions.

Circles are my go-to in helping to complete the look that I'm aiming for and these were delightful to add to my "Dutch Apple" core top.  Dutch Apple is the name of a pie, you know!  LOL

Since it is Pi Day, sewing down circles in on my agenda for today.

For dessert tonight, a nice maple sugar pie will be gooey and yummy.  It is that time of year when maple trees will start to be tapped for their liquid gold.  Warm days and cold nights.

Clocks have all been moved forward.

Cherish your day, cherish your life!
