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 blog on pinterest from a link with this polka dot bikini. What I would really like is to duplicate the fabrics. Where did the fabrics come from? Your stash or a designer line? Thank You.
