Thanks for starting this thread as I was wondering why I bought several polka dot bolts when Hancock Fabric was going out of business. . Now I have ideas.

I've been collecting polka dots for while now, too. I want to make a quilt that is circles of polka dot fabric. Google images of quilts featuring circles.

Here's a top that I made a few years ago - all out of polka dotted fabric. The center is a Pat Sloan pattern.[ATTACH=CONFIG]592230[/ATTACH]

My go-to pattern for a variety of similar fabrics is "Take Five." Use the original pattern, or find one of the updated ones that gives several sizes. It's easy to do, and the results are very pleasing, whatever size you decide to make.

Love the ideas. I also have several polka dots in my stash. I pulled them out recently and sit looking at them and wondering how to use them in my little charity baby quilts. Now I have some ideas. The pin wheels look perfect! Thanks!!

I am currently in the hand quilting process of a baby quilt done with polka dots and either stripes or checks of some sort in each square. It is a pinwheel square in the center done in two shades of white tonal and half square triangles done in the dots with stripes or checks surrounding the center square. It was a fun quilt to do .
