polka dot giveaway

Giveaways are so hard for me because I think I should have things match or coordinate but I am just going to go with polka dots and they don't have to match.:) There are 4 fat quarters here. Leave me a comment and let me know what you're working on. It's fun to hear what everyone's doing. For example: I'm Heather and I'm going to pin a quilt today. (hopefully) Then I hope to start quilting one of the three that I have pinned.:) It's crazy.

I hope you guys have a great day!! I will post the winner Thursday. Thanks for stopping!!

    Hi...Betsy here. I have a TON to do today. I am going to finish some bindings on a little placemat I made for my desk (in my new craft room), quilt my Jelly Filled quilt, start a new baby quilt, and highlight my friends hair. Just a little ambitious but hey...we will see where the day takes me. I LOVE those fabrics by the way.
