Polka Dot Fabric Adds a Burst of Fun
Classic polka dots were simple designs featuring large colored dots. These days, you can get fabric that's dotted and spotted in all kinds of motifs. Bright, colorful polka dot fabric provides a lively contrast to solid quilt blocks, while small dotted prints complement all types of fabric designs.
Impressionists knew all about dots. They used a series of perfectly positioned dots to create their pixelated masterpieces. You can create a multi-color work of art all your own using fabric with dots. Bright and colorful or muted and subtle, there's no question that dotted cotton fabrics bring a lot of zest to the party.
Whether you need polka dot fabrics by the yard or precut bundles of spotted material, you'll find all the dots you need for your next quilting project at Fat Quarter Shop.
How to Incorporate Polka Dot Quilting Fabric Into Your Project
Traditional polka dot cotton fabric featured same-sized circles of one color – primarily black, blue or red – on a white background. These days, not all dots are polka varieties. In fact, given the sheer multitude of dotted print designs, there's no limit to the ways you can incorporate fabric with dots into your next quilting project. Here are a few idea-starters:
- Mix basic fabric with polka dot quilt fabric to create simple, eye-catching projects.
- Use polka dot material as a border for your quilt.
- Choose a fabric with muted dots as a background to add a textured feel to your quilt.
- Cut shapes of polka dot fabric to create a fill for objects depicted in your quilt. For example, you can fashion fabric with dots into a ship's sail, a teddy bear's belly or flower petals.
