Would anyone be interested in dressed up dresses??? See the thread below for examples.

If you know of any free dress patterns out there please let me know. I found a few but didn't fall in love with any of the free ones and I don't want anyone to have to purchase a pattern to partipate in the swap.

So here's a batik block I did today - perhaps THEE easiest pattern ever! What I want to know, is it too busy with all the different prints? BE HONEST, PLEASE.
Thanx for your input.
P.S. If I end up doing this block for the swap, they will be in all different colorways--I have loads of batik scraps!

Now, can someone answer a question for me. This is my first swap and I want to make sure my blocks are right. I plan on making the Balkan Puzzle block from Quilter's Cache. The instructions say that the pattern makes a 12" block. Is that 12" finished or 12" unfinished? I made one block and it ended up 12". But I think we are supposed to have a 12-1/2" block to send for the swap. Is this right? Any advice would be appreciated as I want to make my blocks correct.

quilting nonie, that block is beautiful
Judy, Yes, the blocks should be 12.5" when you send them in. Check your see allowance and try a scant 1/4", and have you pressed it? Sometimes they grow a little.
I like it. It's very bright and pretty.

OK. Think I'm gonna go to plan B. First block I did was 'Woven Ribbons' and I thought it was kinda blah. Today I made a 'London Roads' block using exactly the same fabrics, and I like it much better. What do you think?
