Curling up in that will feel wonderful. Great idea to use the dresses in a quilt that will surely bring back many memories.

This looks great. Was this fabric a knit because I'm not familiar with it? I love reusing fabric it's what quilting was once all about.

yes panne' velvet is a knit and it is very stretchy. If you are use to working with knits then this pattern is not bad. You just have to handle it differently than woven fabrics.
