Polka dot quilt -- "Dot's Crazy"

This quilt makes me smile big time. It turned out exactly how I hoped ... wild, crazy, loud (a lot like it's creator, perhaps?) and happy.

It's been folded on our couch all week and I finally got my sweet quilt holder (Mr. SewSara) to help me out with some pictures this afternoon. Even the pictures don't quite do it justice.

I always have a hard time getting just the right angle.

are you glad I went with the multi-colored stripe? I am.

It was cute, as I was taking pics of the quilt, I saw the kids coming from the corner of my eye. I overheard Ruby say "yeah she made it ... just for our family to keep!" and Max said, "come on, you can see it..."

hehe. 

I tried not to cringe as they put their dirty hands/faces/shoes on it. That's how quilts feel loved, I'd say.

 I couldn't stop taking photos of my 'baby.' All the fabrics together (all 51 of them) just make me giddy! I think I'm hooked on quilting ... it works like an anti-depressant or something! It may sound cheesy, but it's so satisfying to watch the small pieces come together to make something new and beautiful. (i'm sure we could draw a life parallel there .............)

Yes, I believe there are at least 51 different polka dot fabrics. Oh, and the back is a clearance sheet from Target. Which means I still have the fitted sheet to use for another quilt.

Which leads to a confession:

I already started another quilt top with the leftover polka dot squares. 

And I'd like one of my readers to have it. 
Stay tuned! I need to figure out the details. :)


p.s. I was happy tonight to have the chance to hear NieNie speak.
Please tell me you know who I'm talking about. She was so lovely and inspiring!
