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!!

  72. I'm Susan from Florida, and if I can pull myself away from the computer, I'll continue with the stacked coin strips (from AmandaJean's tutorial) for a quilt (two, actually) of the same name.

They make me happy while making them, and I'm praying they'll do the same for the recipients.
