It's my day to share on the Dots on Dots blog hop. Its been so fun to see what everyone has created with this theme. I made two blocks. One that stayed within the size guidelines and one that didn't! :)
The one that didn't is called "Roly Poly Owl" that I found on the blog "The Tulip Patch".
Mary made hers with a GO!Baby cutter which I don't have. Instead of making paper templates for the drunkards path I chose to use an acrylic set I already owned that finished at 4 inches...which is why mine is larger....it's 16 inches of cuteness!
The owls sew up fast and are easy peasy. I'm going to piece this block into the back of my grand daughters "I Spy" quilt that needs to made and finished in time for her second birthday.....in about 3 weeks! Yikes....yes, I've procrastinated on it!
The other block I made - which *is* 12 inches - is called "Blue Specs" from the Modern Blocks book...but I call it "I See Dots"....hee, hee.
I co-teach a block of the month class at my local quilt store using the Modern Blocks book. This is one of the blocks for Octobers class. By using the dotted fabrics from the lines I'm using it works for the hop and my class!
Here are the other blogs on the hop today. Be sure to go see what they made.

Love your Roly Poly Owls. I didn't realize that they were a variation of Drunkard's Patch until I clicked on your link. Ya learn something new everyday - LOL! I just finished my September Craftsy BOM which were Cleopatra's Puzzle and Chain block which are also variations of Drunkard's Path. Very clever. Thanks for sharing, from California.

Love your roly poly owls four patch! Thanks for being part of the hop.
Fabulous blocks! Clever idea to make owls from the Drunkards Path block... I love these roly-poly cuties. The seeing spots block has me grinning, too. Somehow, the glasses have me thinking of the "Where's Waldo?" character... they could be his specs, I think. ;o)
Thanks so much for sharing!
I love it all! Those owls are fabulous and the specs are awesome. Well done!
Both of your projects are very cute and clever!
Adore your owls!!! What a great addition to the back of your daughter's birthday quilt! Your specs are so cute - and how smart of you to get two jobs done at one time!
OMG Cindy, the owls are just the cutest. Would never have thought to use the drunkards path...clever!! The specs are great too. Thanks for joining the hop and sharing your dot creations. Awesome job!! Happy stitching, Pauline
How cute are those owls! Love the colours and the eyes. You did a great job of pp on the glasses. Hubby needs a new pair-are you available?LOL
wow, are you feeling overwhelmed with how many comments you've had? What cute blocks----I love that I am going to get to see those adorable owls whenever I want to!!! Heidi is going to love her quilt!!!
Those are both great blocks! Those glasses are just too cute.
Very cute Owls! I really like them. Thanks for sharing.
Very cute! Nice work. Thank you for sharing!
Those owls are adorable. Super cute, thanks for sharing!
Well, I can certainly understand why you're seeing dots!! Cute glasses. Loved your owls, too. When I saw them I thought of baby bibs - those dotty owls would be great baby cover-ups. :)
Love the owls! They are awesome.
Darling Owls! I'm going to copy them!
Oh My,those little owls are just to darn cute!
What fun blocks.....and thanks for the fun post.
Love the blocks, especially the glasses. I saw this in Modern Blocks and knew I would just have to make it along with a shoe block, a hat block and a purse block. I'm still deciding on fabric, but I'm oh so close. :-)
Cute blocks! Love the owls. Debbie
I am sloooooooow! I had looked at the owls and thought they were appliqued and cut in one piece. Then I looked again, and SAW a seam! Then the light bulb came on about the drunkard's path. Then I read more closely about where to find the pattern. I know it's 4AM, but I should not have been that slow! What a cute, cute, cute idea. I have baby quilts for twins that I thought were going to arrive yesterday (I just haven't heard). My brother is to be the grandpa. I've already started cutting out the fabric or I would have changed by mind and made owls - these are adorable. Just two cute.
And the glasses are fun, fun, fun. Those may have to go on the back on a quilt some day - it'll have to be the right quilt, but never know.
Thanks for participating and sharing with fellow quilters. What fun and inspiration.
Beautiful blocks!!! Thanks for sharing and being a part of the hop!
Those owls are awesome!! They look great in dots.
Love the glasses. Had to look twice to really see what it was! Like the owlies together in the on point form! Really nice. Thanks for sharing.
The glasses are way cool. No other way to discribe them. Love the owls. I'm thinking they won't actually make a backing for a quilt but will make a reversible quilt.
your owls are way tooo cute! I also love the seeing spots!
