It's National Polka Dot Day!



According to quilt historian, Barbara Brackman, January 22 is National Polka Dot Day!




So I went digging in the cupboard for a few polka dot flimsies to celebrate the day.  




This one was made a few years ago in a class with Freddy Moran.  
It's the "Liberated Wedding Ring" pattern in the book, Freddy and Gwen Collaborate Again.




This one was made around 2007 in a class with Kaffe Fassett.  




Both of these quilts are made of all dots or dot-like prints.





I'd be hard-pressed to find a quilt in my house that doesn't include a number of dotty fabrics! 





Here's a block from my design wall today.




And here's a sneak peek of Scrappy Trip--half sewn together!


(Excuse the crummy photos.  I took the flimsies outside to photograph.  
It's so cold, my lens fogged up!)
