Anybody recognize this as a Giant Dahlia quilt pattern. That's what it started out as.

Yes, cut that little beauty up and make a nice quilt.

Loved the idea about the tree skirt -- it would be gorgeous!

Your dress is lovely and would be nice for a round table cloth. I use to square dance and made all my dresses and shirts to match for hubby. Gave them all to my daughter for a yard sale and could not believe she sold them for a quarter. There were yards of fabric in them. Oh well hope someone enjoyed them.

I made this dress many years ago and always loved it. However, now I don't have a partner and probably can't get into it so it is time to make it into a quilt.

I think it was about a 10. That's why I can't get into it either.

I'm interested in the dress. But it probably wouldn't fit me. I wear a size 14 - 16.

Too old to learn to clog, just watching them makes me tired, LOL

I agree w/ Mavita. If you love to square dance check out Mavita's suggestions. I love to clog but you don't need a partner all the time. Maybe your could check into clogging. It's great fun.

I still have lots of other dresses that fit. And it is still a possibility to go dancing again.

DON'T CUT UP YOUR DRESS JUST YET! I have been thinking about making a quilted square dance dress for a long time. But the reason for not cutting it up, is, maybe you will get back into square dancing again. Our club has many single dancers. Some have lost their partners, some spouses just don't want to dance or can't, and some are just single. We have five or more women who know the man's part and at least that many who are learning it. We also have at least four guys who have learned the woman's part. When we have lessons, there is one square in the back of men doing women's part and women doing men's part. The have a lot of fun doing that, and it is so much fun watching that, because they get mixed up sometimes. But they are getting better. So if you can't find a partner, go to lessons and learn the man's part. Or find another woman to dance with. It's all fun.
