I really do love this pattern! Are you wondering why I call it “Polka Dot Bikini”?
When I made the first blocks over a year ago, my sister, Emily
pointed out that they look like the bottoms of a bikini (you know, a brief with leg holes?) and that just stuck. It has been my “bikini” quilt ever since.
The pattern is for the quilt as shown, measuring 63″ square. I plan to use mine as a wall hanging, but it would be a fun baby quilt or throw (how about with low volume prints and colored rings?)
The good news? it is so much easier than it looks (don’t tell!). It looks similar to a classic double wedding ring, but there are no set-in seams, no unruly bias arcs, no foundation (paper) piecing. If you can sew curves, you can make this. Even if you haven’t sewn curves, but want to try, the pattern has full instructions and diagrams.
Purchase your copy of the Polka Dot Bikini pattern and start sewing today! <<click here for pattern>>
Have a great week,

I found this quilt on Facebook. It is fantastic.
It looks fantastic, all done and so pretty in your photos! I found this blog through a linky party about a year ago, I think. I believe it was the first peek of your bikini quilt in the works at the time. Or no…maybe it was buying a pattern before that? I don’t remember, apparently! Anyway, glad to have found it, and thanks for the chance to win this pattern!
Sharon, I found your blog the best way … though YOU! I LOVE this quilt. And I remember you working on it at Quilt Camp AKA Camp Stitch a lot. Wow. I’m so impressed. Good work!
I love this pattern and the quilting is beyond beautiful. I could look at it for hours.
Your quilt is amazing! This year I have become fascinated with Double Wedding Ring-inspired quilts. Will definitely have to try your version. Oh, and I found you and your quilt by way of the sewkindofwonderful blog.
