I can't wait to try one and so thankful for you and Pam, I could never do what the 2 of you have done, looked at EQ6 and started to buy it , then chickened out. That dusty rose is beautiful and I think I like it better than the red and blue!Makes it look more old fashioned to me! :D

The first of any block is always the most difficult, particularly if there aren't instructions. I actually favour bright colours, but was digging through my scraps and found a piece of this silk and thought the same thing, old fashioned type dress material.

I tend to forget things like that when I start things like this! LOL
If there were lots of pieces I think it would be difficult. Because I paper pieced the seam between the sleeve section and the bodice / skirt section, I was guaranteed it would be exact even if I had stretched the silk a little.

It's really easy.... actually, I think I've got the name mixed up. I put a piece of paper with the template cut out onto the reverse side of the fabric, tack down the seam allowance, then whipstitch the seam by hand.
