I ended up painting black dots on red fabric after hours of searching. Can you tell me where you bought that fabric you used for the ladybugs?
Thank you so much, it was really fun to make. The Lady bug material I used on my applique was the same I used for the block borders, I just cut out small pieces of velveteen and appliqued them over the white dots. I also looked every where for red fabric with black polka dots. if you do find it please let me know! Most of my bug fabric I got at Joann's. I might have picked up one at a yard sale, that was a lucky find! A big bag of scraps for a buck, I love finding fabric or yarn at yard sales.
