I've made it to the sewing room every day this week. At the start of each sewing session, I'd tackle one more section of the paper piecing for the first Vintage Dress block. Last night I sewed all the sections together.

The block size is a little off, but that can be fixed by floating the dress with some added sashing. So it's not perfect, but I like how it came out. I learned a few things from piecing this first block that should make the others go a bit smoother. I'm glad I only need to finish two blocks each month, this is not a fast block to make. But I think the final quilt will be cute.
I'm going to finish my coffee while checking out the rainbow of blues posted over at Soscrappy.

This dress is amazing. I love the fabrics. I am really looking forward to see more dresses that you will be creating.
So pretty and the fabric is lovely.
This is adorable! :)
Like doll clothes / I know this will be a fun project to watch throughout the year! SO pretty.
Beautiful paper piecing -- what a fun idea for a RSC project.
Cute dress block! Coco Chanel would be proud of you! I agree with you about January just draaaaaaaaaaaaagging, and even made a reference to that in my post. February can't come fast enough!
It's wonderful! Your quilt is going to be adorable - I'm really looking forward to it!

What a great idea for a scrappy project. I love this blue dress - would quite happily wear it!
This is going to be so cute...I'm going to love watching it come together.
This is really cute - you've done a fabulous job of it.
This dress could NOT be any cuter!!! I can't wait to see what comes next!
The dress was worth the effort. It looks ready for a prom, love the print panel. Keep up the good work!
I LOVE this block! Will all your rainbow vintage dresses be the same pattern or different styles?
It's adorable! Can't wait to see an entire quilt made of these blocks.
Absolutely Stunning!!
Your block is amazing - and I'm sure the finished quilt will be, too!
OH so very cute! Definitely worth the extra time, and sure to get quicker with practice. Even with paper piecing, it is still possible to chain piece. Looking forward to seeing all the colors on this quilt.
Your dress is super cute but it does look like a somewhat challenging block to make. It will be fun to see more dresses as the year continues.
