Rainbow Scrap Challenge - Still Playing Catch Up

It's been an interesting week full of ups and downs.  My Guy and I took a day off yesterday not so much because we wanted to, but because we really needed to.  We had squirrels in the attic.  The starlings had torn up the screens that were on one of the vents and the squirrels found their way in via that entrance.  So My Guy spent the morning crawling around the attic putting up new screens. I stayed in the walk in part of the attic and handed him tools, screening etc.  The temps here were in the 70's by mid morning, so the attic wasn't steaming hot, but it was pretty warm.  

We did get to enjoy the afternoon, which mainly consisted of a nap for both of us.  But I did eventually wander into the sewing room late in the day.  I put the final seams into the first orange Vintage Dress block.

I like how it turned out.  Orange is not my color, it makes be look ill, so I wouldn't be wearing this dress.  I would certainly admire it on someone else.   The central panel was fussy cut to capture the flowers in the center of the skirt.  The paper piecing is getting easier, I've got a much better idea how to line up the seams now.  The second orange dress should go fast, it's the dress with the fewest pieces.  So hopefully there will be a green dress or maybe even two finished before the end of the month.  

Linking up with Angela at Soscrappy for this week's Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
