How do I add days to date from another worksheet?

In one of my sheets, I have a "legend" of values like this:

Sheet1:
Quarter   Days
Q1        3                            
Q2        5                        
Q3        7                        
Q4        10

In another sheet, I want a cell to match the row to the legend above, then add the corresponding days above to a cell's date in sheet2. Here's what I have in Sheet2:

Type   Quarter   Date               Next Date
car         Q3        08/09/07            
plane      Q2        04/19/08                        
truck       Q4        11/23/05                        
bike         Q2        05/02/06                        
foot         Q1        02/12/08                        

What I want to end up with is this:

Sheet2:
Type   Quarter   Date               Next Date
car         Q3        08/09/07        08/16/07                        
plane      Q2        04/19/08        04/24/08                        
truck       Q4        11/01/05        11/11/05                        
bike         Q2        05/02/06        05/07/06                        
foot         Q1        02/12/08        02/15/08    

In the first row of "car", the "Date" cell is 08/09/07. Because "Quarter" is Q3 and Q3's corresponding days is 7 from Sheet1, it added 7 days to 08/09/07, which equals 08/16/07. How can I achieve this?
