    Default Disappearing Dress
    I'm making some new summer dresses, but this beige one was just too plain. So I embellished it with quilted disappearing blocks. From the top: disappearing- 9-patch, 4-patch, hourglass, 4-patch sliced diagonally, and pinwheel. It's my first foray into the disappearing blocks and was challenged by the small sizes and to taper the sizes. One of them I completely scrapped and started over.

    Cute idea - I like that one has to look twice to see that you used different blocks.

    Your dress certainly makes a great statement about You. I really like it. Isn't that why we make our won clothing?
