Oh - about the polka dots - my wife and I went to a quilt show recently and one of the vendors was displaying a baby quilt made of pinwheels. Each pinwheel was a bright color with white polka dots. And the vendor had a basket under the hanging baby quilt filled with fat quarters of all the polka dot fabric. I liked the look of it, but I don't really care for pinwheels. So when I saw this pattern, I thought "Bingo!"
