"All Dressed Up" Dresses Quilt

 
"All Dressed Up" Quilt! I love the way this turned out. It's super scrappy!

 

a focal point...

I machine quilted circles in the background ...


 a pretty button
there's all kinds of colors in this quilt... who would have thought ... butterscotch right next to pink right next to brown...
 

pretty button...

Here's the corners. I like the random fabrics in the border that finish off the 'squares'.

the stitching in the squares....

I was SO fortunate to find this wonderful pink with DRESSES on a clothesline for the border!
It's so Perfect!
I also love the black Polkadot inner border and the tiny dots in the binding....

Pondering on "Flower Girl" Pattern by thimble blossoms....hmmm...

Starting "Flower Girl" by thimble blossoms! I'm having a tricky time figuring out what color scheme I want....
After getting these done, it occurred to me that a whole very large quilt out of just these colors might be a little........uh......blah. No wow factor.
 
My good friend Cathy bought enough of these fabrics for 3 people! fun fun!
 
I added the brown..... which I LOVE.
 
So I added some bright turquoise and a little red and pink.......I like.
 
So after looking at the original pattern done with Marmalade, I decided to add some reds.
 
and more reds.....
 
Hm....I like it without the reds too....hard to decide....
