    Here's one I made as a shower gift. The pattern is OUTSIDE THE BOX-All Grown Up. Very easy to make.

    I am just finishing up the polka dot bow tie quilt from Riley Blake that Kathy T. showed for my 10 year old niece, I love it and she will love it too! Very easy to make. The center square "knot" is appliqued on, I used Eleanor Burns
    method with light weight iron on interfacing. I am not affiliated, check out Craftsy, the kit may still be on sale.

    I love working with polka dots - be it quilts, tote bags or girl's dresses. The only constant is that I use some white. Either as the main solid or with some other bright solids. For me, it keeps it light and happy. And polka dots are just plain happy!!

    My niece asked me to make polka dot quilts for her expected twins. This is what I came up with- not really polka dots, but she was very happy, and Micah and Elise play every day on their quilts made by Auntie.
