Great polka dots.
I love them?
Did you do a swap for them? Or been collecting awhile?

I have a question.................if 400 3" squares are what you have, how is that enough to do a king size quilt? 20 sqares by 20 squares are 400 squares, right............correct me if I am wrong. 3" cut is 2.5" sewn. That would only be a 50x50 square. Are you adding bigger squares also?

I might have some if you need them. I will have to check my stash. Let me know and I will look.

Also................if you cut the 3" squares into triangles they will be even smaller once they are squares off........maybe a 2" square?

PM me if you need more dots

Oh, I hope my daughter doesn't see this one! She loves dots.

You are going to end up with one cool looking quilt.

Hey Barb,

I didn't say JUST the 400 3" squares was enough for a king size quilt! Look in the second picture and you'll see all of the white background polka dot fabs too. Some of those are 7" squares, some are 6.25" squares.

I found all of those dotty fabs at Hancock Fabrics and Joanne's!

Ok, soo we all love your polka dots, but what we really want is to see your sewing table. Envy is creeping in getting the best of us. Kudos to your dad for seeing the need and helping you fulfill it.

Ok back to the dots. I love all of the bright cheery ones. It will be such a happy quilt. Also will make a great Doll Quilt for October, November, December, etc. swap.

Make sure to post pics as you go.
