I was thinking that yours looked different, but couldn't put my finger on it. You are right, though, about the colors.
This quilt is ADORABLE! I LOVE polka-dots. I put polka dots in almost every quilt I make. Someday I will make one with only polka-dots. I will be looking forward to pics when you get yours done.
Lucky you to have such a handy father! I love how your table/storage is set up. Can you imagine having $4k to drop on a TABLE?? Wow. I didn't even spend that on my machine!
Your big flower pincushion is cute, too.
