I love this box! You could do a pinwheel quilt with the polka dots. (Just a suggestion) Thanks to you the last box you shared, I bought a box. I wanted to get one this time, but they were sold out and we are getting packed up to move plus I really don't need one move thing to load on the truck and then stick in storage for a while. I love that you share your quilty stuff.

I love pinwheel blocks! Thank you for that suggestion 🥰

If I may give some advice... it is very very easy to fall into the fabric buying trap(come see my sewing room lol) BUT I have learned unless there is a specific pattern you are trying to source fabric for.. DONT go on any websites for fabrics it's soo easy to see a sale and impulse buy..

I sure will! I’ve definitely slowed down from what I was doing, my neck was really hurting me. Thank you 🥰

Thanks for sharing your unboxing. I just got my second box today. It was very similar to yours, lots of dots! And quite a bit of Breezeway. About two thirds of the box was split between these, leaving a third for variety. In the "variety" third, I received two pieces each of three different fabrics, plus a few others. I got a lot (a lot!) of Breezeway in a box about a month ago as well. I'm sort of on the fence. I was mainly looking to expand my variety of fabrics, so these boxes were a meh. I do love the surprise aspect and the chance to work with something I would not normally have chosen. A lot of the quilting I'm doing now is charity quilts, so all that Breezeway will make a couple of masculine tops. The dots can go into baby or children's quilts. I certainly will wait a couple of months before trying again.

That’s what I was thinking. I’d like to get another box, but I may wait until closer to fall before getting another. I’m wondering if they are cutting up and dividing fabric they have had on hand for a while and trying to make room for new

I love the fabrics you got

Love the poke a dot. The Lori Holt fabric is super awesome.

My original post disappeared, but you got the same box as I did. I was pretty upset with this box. It did not have any end of bolts. I'm so glad you did this video. It proves that they are just cutting up pieces of slow movers. I did not get this on sale. I emailed them about my disappointment. I know it is not coincidence that we all got the same box. I have been ordering these for years and have not always been overjoyed, but this is disgraceful. When I pay for end of bolt, that is what I expect. Thank you for the video.😢

You’re the 3rd or 4th person that has said this same thing. That makes me think (like you) they are trying to get rid of fabric that isn’t selling. It will be a long while before I buy one (if I ever do again). Not to mention the about I received of that purple polka dot….thats like 2 yards of fabric

Can you possibly tilt your camera down towards your table so we can see? Thanks 👍

I think you got very lucky with the mystery box. Everything is awesome. The polka-dots can be used as a spring, Easter quilt. Backing fabric, fill in etc

You can always use the polka dots as linings for the inside of bags. This is another reason why I don’t by mystery boxes of any kind.

I won’t buy another one….too much $. The first box I was happy with, this box I’m finding that several people have gotten almost the same exact thing. Very disappointed

I think the polka dot fabrics will make a cute quilt, or you might mix them with other prints that go with the colors. The butterfly on the dark fabric would be cute with the hot pink dot and you have another fabric with the hot pink color in it. Fun fabrics and I know you will find something fun to do with them. It is always nice to have lots of options.

Yes! Especially getting fabric I wouldn’t normal pick. I love the wide range of sizes also ☺️ my daughter also loves digging in them when I’m done opening lol

I definitely have plenty of it lol. I need to get my fabric back out of my last box and see what all I have that can go together and come up with something.

So many people have said that! I really think they are pushing fabric that’s not selling. This makes me really disappointed in them for doing this.

I think I would be a nit bummed with the fabric box from Missouri Star. To many of the same fabrics, unless you LOVE them. Just mybopinion.

You have a rainbow of dots there, not necessarily for the same project

I appreciate the measurements. I looked that up...we are all kinds of wonderful is a Michael Miller fabric collection. That would not have been my choice either to end up with a lot of it but I have a feeling you are resourceful like most quilters and will figure a use for it...same with the polka dots. The dots would have better if they were smaller. There's some cute patterns out there that use polka dots. I LOVE a LOT of Henry Glass fabrics. I think that was Henry Glass Nana Mae 6? I bet you'll like it.

Yes! I looked the nana Mae up and I LOVE it! There is also a 7 and may just have to buy some fat quarter bundles 🫣😂 I love that they are vintage inspired (which is right up my alley). I’m definitely happy with my box. I need to try and look up some patterns with the polka dots…my daughter would love it (especially the blue)

Use a baby panel with blocks, cut the blocks out and border with the polka dots. It’d be super cute!

Lauren, I am 75 years old and I have so much fabric, so many quilt kits, I am not going to live long enough to enjoy--don't do it! It makes me very sad that I'll never be able to use it all. Pace yourself and try to finish as much as you can. I wish I could place my fabric into the hands of young people like yourself to enjoy what I will not be able to.

Polka dots can be used as great substitutes for solids. I love them. I do have to say that buying too much fabric is easy to do, as there will always be beautiful fabric out there. I honestly would stop with so many kits and work with your stash.
