I've had time to stitch most evenings this week so you'd think I'd have something to show for it. Those Vintage Dress blocks take a while to assemble. I tried to get one finished up last night, but we had plans. All I have to show this week is the fabric selections for the green dresses.

The bright green on the left is working up nicely. It's going to be a very bright dress. I haven't started on the gingham dress yet. I decided you really couldn't have a vintage dress quilt without at least one gingham dress. Hopefully it will make up as pretty as the previous dresses have been.
For those in the US, enjoy your holiday weekend. We have no plans for the weekend. Just going to catch up on stuff around the house and hopefully get some stitching done. Though I'm pretty sure there will be a trip to Tulsa in there somewhere.
Now it's time for a second cup of coffee and a peak at all other green scrappy blocks over at Soscrappy.

I love your fabric choices! I hope you get lots of stitching in.
Beautiful greens!!! And I hope you have a relaxing weekend. We have out of town friends stopping by and then time in our studios plus a family gathering on Monday. ALL good.
Ooh, I can't wait to see the gingham one! Those are some bright and cheerful greens to work with - hopefully you get plenty of sewing time this weekend!
Very pretty dresses you've been sewing!
I am very excited to see the gingham block come together!
Love your dresses... Did you design the (paper pieced?) patterns? I'd like to make a couple of them. Where can I get the patterns?

Pretty fabrics. Now I'm anxious to see the blocks!
Fabric selection is part of the process. Congrats on getting that much done!!
These are going to be too cute. Enjoy the weekend.
Your green choices will be fun to see, and we still have a few more green days. Enjoy them!
Those look like great fabric choices - looking forward to seeing the green fashion show!
The gingham fabric will be perfect for your old fashioned looking dress. Hope that the long holiday weekend will bring you some time to play.
You are right about the gingham for a vintage dress...I made one that I loved and wore often when I was in high school! I'll bet it takes a lot of time just to pick out the perfect fabrics for these dresses...almost like shopping for a new dress!
Can't wait to see the green dresses, especially the gingham one!
So many pieces. Beautiful green prints. Love these blocks!
Very pretty! I really like all the dresses you've made. Looking forward to seeing the green ones!
