Enough about 2015, I'm ready to start a new project scrappy project for 2016. It's taken me a bit to decide on this year's scrap project. I started playing around with potential scrappy blocks back in September, but just couldn't settle on anything. We've been on vacation all week, so I finally had some time to consider all the projects pinned to my Pinterest boards and to look through all my downloaded patterns. There was one pattern I kept coming back too. After playing around with some setting ideas, it finally became THE scrappy pattern for 2016.

I've done some paper piecing but nothing this intricate. These Vintage Dress blocks will finish at about 7" X 10". I've played around with a couple of 5 x 5 setting options in EQ.
This setting requires finishing about two blocks a month. That should be doable. Plus this pattern would work well with Angela's new addition of an accent color suggestion to this year's RSC. So I'm excited about getting out all my blue and purple scraps and starting that first block.
I'm looking forward to checking out all the new RSC projects for 2016 over at Soscrappy.

Beautiful pattern! You will be a pro at paper piecing before very long with all those blocks to practice on. Accent colors will work perfectly with the trim.
What a wonderful pattern! Great choice for the RSC. Enjoy the paper piecing.
Such cute dresses! Looking forward to seeing your couture creations.
Oh, dear. Now I need to make these, too. My paper piecing skills are not great, but I can practice. Thanks for the idea.
What a fabulous quilt! I will thoroughly enjoy this one develop.
That's a good idea for mastering paper piecing and will work up beautifully as a rainbow.
What a pretty block design. It will be fun to watch this one grow.
Oh my goodness...that is going to be adorable. I have a sundresses embroidery pattern that I think I might have to start next. Your post and your quilt isn't helping with my self-discipline.
Love it / reminds me of playing with DOLLS and their clothes...what fun! :)
This is a fantastic idea for an RSC project! Sure wish I liked or could understand paper piecing, but I’ll be happy to enjoy your progress instead! This is one project all of us big girls will be watching!
These are so darling! It's funny -- I just purchased my first paper piecing pattern from her yesterday -- it's the Tea Time pattern. Your 'dresses' will be perfect for scrappy fun! :)

I love her dress patterns - this will be so cute with the RSC.
Great pattern for the two color scheme, and so pretty! You go girl.
