Bold Polka Dots Produce an Eye-Catching Quilt

Play with the Sashing to Give It Any Personality!
This eye-catching quilt features simple blocks that are given a cheerful, vibrant look with bold polka dot sashing. The quilt is a fun project and easy enough for confident beginners.
Plus, the design lends itself to many interpretations. Feature special prints or fussy-cut motifs in the blocks. The sashing can be made from a plaid, stripes, any size of polka dots, solids, or other print styles. In fact, this is a great example of how the sashing can transform a quilt.
Give your version a similar bold look or choose softer colors for an equally charming quilt with an entirely different personality. This is also a great project for scraps.
Designer Jo from Thimbles & Needles provides instructions for three quilt sizes:
- Baby – 42” x 53”
- Throw – 63” x 74”
- Bed – 84” x 95″
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article).
