I really have to admire the quilters who have the gift of embellishing. I do imagine it would take a great deal of time, and you are to be commended for doing that kind of detail work. Not my cup of tea, though I admire it greatly. It just seems more creative than I was endowed with.

It's easy dude... just looks complicated! :-) Just take a piece of lace, or ribbon, and sew it onto the piece before you put the block together. That's it. :-)

I know! Make a bunch of dresses, make some patchwork, some striped, some polka dot, some casual and some formal, and call it "fashion show".

Wait a minute, this is your design... :oops: :D

I'm sorry - I thought Blue pieced them over paper templates? I hadn't got around to looking at the patterns until now. I guess you can just piece them the ordinary way? The red dress looks great anyway! :D
