A new dress for a little girl. This was a Swedish print that I ordered a couple of years ago, and it turned out to be much larger than I thought from the picture in the catalogue. So, now that she has grown some, I have been able to use it.
The print was just perfect for self-covered buttons!
And here we have some pictures of my new quilt, just beginning. I am using plain fabric to join up the hexagon flowers, so they will show up well in all their differences. I am wondering just how many variations I will be able to get out of this print.
Footnote. When I stitched the previous piece onto it's cotton duvet backing, I trimmed off the binding of the duvet before putting my patchwork edging on. Somebody made off with the trimmings, and I notice that they have a new life now, tying in the branches of the apple trees that he is training in the fruit cage. Waste not, want not - it's the Keeper training.

That is a lovely dress, the fabric looks exciting.
At least your 'off-cuts' have been put to good use.
Lovely dress indeed - I know two little girls who would both love to wear that!
