Polka dot quilts ideas

During our latest snow the other day, I was able to get a lot of the quilting done on this baby quilt made from scraps and left over ...

Thank you for all of your very kind comments on my Pinwheels blog post earlier this week. It has been an extra productive week at RPQ inv...

40 x 50 This cute top was pieced by my son! While he likes to sew, it usually takes him a long time to make a top. I remind him once in a while to sew a row or two or do some ironing. His sewing skills are improving a lot. Most of his points match! I gave it a larger meander than normal. Muscle memory made this a little more challenging! I kept wanting to make it smaller. Small polka dot on the back with a solid red binding was all I could find in my stash for this quilt. But I think it goes…

Quilting took a bit longer than expected, but Pom Pom Parade is complete. There’s nothing quite like the feeling when you complete a quilt – so exciting!

Welcome to our Pillow Fight! A friendly little competition for making fun projects inspired by our new “Pillow Talk” book. I am Edyta Sitar and I am looking forward to having some fun with this challenge! “Dot Dot Dot” is the pillow that I am going to use as the inspiration for my projects. To start I choose some light squares for my backgrounds, then mixed and matched all of my favorites – traditional and modern, batiks and woven. I was on a roll to use as many scraps as I could and my…

Of course I forgot to put the label on ... but I can still add that ... I'm going to call this one "Confetti". The top is made from the leftovers of Playmate. The back is flannel.

You can also follow along on my Facebook Page for mini updates. Linking up with Marelize for Anything Goes Monday and with Connie at Free Motion By The River and…

It is such a satisfying feeling to finish a quilt! You might have noticed that it's not something I do every other week so it's cause for celebration! Yesterday, I finished the polka dotted flying geese quilt I started a few months ago. This quilt resulted from a serindipitous moment in my studio. Some years ago, I bought a bundle of fat quarters of polka dotted fabric at a quilt show, just because I love dots and they looked so luscious, all bundled together. Like candy! I kept the bundle…

*** UFO BUSTING *** This is more of an 'in progress' but I want to have it done for this December. Fabric Swell and I used a layer cake. I decided to use one less row and not to add a border, so i'll make pillows from the border fabric. I've got a red with white polka dot minki backing I've been saving for 'the perfect quilt'. THIS is it! Pattern is 'French Vanilla' in the Perfect 10 book QUILT ABOVE is IN THE Perfect 10 BOOK My FINISHES for last week - 2 binding done! Bind Witch's Night…
