I'm feeling challenged by my fellow quilt guild members who have come up with such adorable and creative dress designs! I decided to try my hand at a sleeveless version of the dress for this block. Inspired by one of Martha Pullen's tv shows, I tried my hand at a scalloped border. It was a bit of a chore to do the machine appliqued blanket stitch on the scallops, but I'm happy with the result. Not perfect, but what the hey .... it's done and I learned something new.
What do you think? I'm pretty happy with this one. A trip to a brand new Michaels store just across the freeway (hallelujah!) yielded the cute little teddy bear charm that I used as a necklace. The flower trim came from JoAnns.
Whoopee! I am caught up with the blocks and ready for the April fabric selection!
