Is this Foundation paper piecing?
Hi Jessica! This is a traditionally pieced pattern. Kimberly will be sewing a tutorial of the block next year around the start of the quilt along.
My favorite quilts that I made are applique, however they took so long to complete.

I have to join!! LOL
So Cute!
Adorable, shame I don’t sew! Maybe a cross stitch pattern SAL ?
I am so excited about this pattern and using Lori’s fabrics to make the dresses. The dresses remind me of the dresses my mother and her sisters wore in the 1940’s and 50’s. My mother passed away when I was eleven. I know this quilt will be a wonderful reminder of my mother and aunts.
This looks like fun..
I am excited to receive my kit and get started in the new year. What a great way to kick off 2024!!!
I have a sister-in-law , Millie. She wanted me to make a quilt for her. When I saw the “ Millie’s Dresses” quilt, I knew what I’d make for her. Hope she’ll enjoy it as much as I’ll enjoy making it 😊
Will there be enough fabric in the kit to be able to starch?
Hi Amy! Yes! Kits from Fat Quarter Shop Quilt Alongs will always have extra fabric for starching and even in case of some mistakes.
