Rainbow Scrap Challenge: Still Pink in the Middle

Life should start settling back into our typical routine.  School started on Thursday.  Drama Teen is a senior in high school. How does that happen?  It seems like just yesterday we were sending her off to her first day of kindergarten.    The big project at work is winding down finally.  It will be another month or so before it finally wraps up, but the time devoted to it will start to taper off.  We should be back to our typical routine this next week, which I'm hoping means more sewing time.  

I got behind on my Rainbow Scrap Project back in March when I had a lot of business travel. This last month, another work project and the family vacation meant there wasn't much time to stitch.  So I'm still about a month behind on this year's Vintage Dress project. The first of the two blocks for July's color of pink was finally finished up earlier this week.

I like how the dress seems lighter at the top and gets darker as you move down it.  That was completely unintentional on my part, but it definitely works.   All but the white pieces have been cut for the second pink dress.  

I'm hoping to make some progress on this one today.  Since life has been so hectic, the plan is to spend the day in my sewing room.  Well, other than a trip to Staples to get the last of DT's school supplies.  When they get to high school it seems the teachers all want a special binder, notebook or graph paper, etc. for their class.
