Collecting polka dot fabric is my latest obsession. I picked up these Amy Butler Lotus fabrics from
Lily Bella Fabrics. I love that you can create your own fat quarter bundle there.
They'll look really nice with the fabrics I picked up recently.
And a very sweet friend shared a gazillion dotty charm squares from her stash!
Don't these look fun?
Stephanie is actually the person responsible for my quest to find every polka dot fabric on the planet. I was inspired by her posts here and here. She has a pattern coming soon, too. Thanks so much, Stephanie, for understanding my dot addiction and not being judgmental. :-)
And speaking of sweet friends, Wendy sent me the absolute cutest little bag with
stitched seashells. I love beachy things! Not only is this an adorable little bag,
but Wendy's work is perfection. Thank you so much, Wendy!
I hope all of you here in the U.S. have a fun and safe Fourth of July weekend!

Those fabrics are delicious! The bag- adorable. Have fun with those dots. Even the charm squares- how generous of her, and how appealing they are!
How fun! I have a dot obsession too and have greatly expanded my collection of dot fabrics in the last couple of years. Some of the fabrics in your pics also live in my dot collection lol.

Wouldn't it be fun to have a whole quilt with polka dots. They bring life to any quilt. I'm glad you are enjoying the zipper pouch.
I know something wonderful will come from your dotty addiction, Kim! Aren't Wendy and Stephanie great! Happy 4th of July!

who stepped out of her comfort zone!
Love dots have a dotty UFO backed in even more dotty fabric but still quilting it by hand... your dot collection is gorgeous!
LOVE, LOVE those polka dots! Wendy makes the cutest bags!
Oh my goodness! You are polka dot obsessed! LOL They are the cutest!!
I can't think of a more worthy--and fun--obsession than gathering dots. Your growing collection is impressive.
That's an adorable little bag. How kind of Wendy to send it to you.
Enjoy the holiday weekend.
I'm a huge spots and dots fan too!! I started collecting about 8 years ago to make the Jazz Cats quilt. I still haven't made that quilt, but probably have enough fabrics for several quilts now. They're addictive :)
Oh, it looks like Stephanie has got you hooked on dots too. Have fun.
LOVE all the polka dots!
Polka Dots are so versatile! You have a lovely collection going. Ann :-)
The polka dots you selected, and were given, are wonderful. Now I've got a polka dot itch. I've been saying fold over triangles too, and like the middle far right hand block because of the color value arrangement (dark/light). Thanks for sharing as gives me ideas for mine - one day.
What wonderful polka dot fabrics! A perfect collection!
hhhmmmm, I see a couple of DOTS there in your piles I don't have in MY stash, well, I will just have to correct that straight away!!
OMG, that little blue bag is just too DARN CUTE!!!
Gorgeous bag.
