Polka dot Whimsy- Why not play today?
I took the Polka dot challenge today. Polka dots are not in my stash, but then I realized that I had leftover Spring/Easter fabrics, leftover scraps from my classroom stitching, and I had the leftover scraps from a black and white challenge . The biggest piece was the blue polka dot fabric which was a fat quarter impulse buy. That meant that would be the background piece. I got the long thin 1/4/ yard green polka dot fabric for a baby quilt, but it didn't match the sagey greens well, and the two pink polka dot and sage green polka dot used for the trees are swatches from the corners of fabric I am making the baby quilt with. What to do? Then I realized the blue matched the crazy quilt learning piece I'd made years ago and had hoped to sew into a sewing machine cover. The aim was in a few hours make a sewing machine cover. I didn't want to spend time hand stitching as this was a half a day play date with myself. The house was born, the trees followed, the sun scrap fabric was unearthed from a long ago orange and yellow challenge. I spent more time looking for the polka dotted fabric in my craft room than I did stitching the piece. Good thing I'd redone my craft area, I knew where to look and was able to put things away again nicely! Tah Dah! A whimsical piece all made from polka dotted fabrics, my play date made my day!
