All Dressed Up Quilt

All Dressed Up Quilt is back from the quilter.
My friend Nanette Merrill of Freda's Hive is the pattern designer. I love this quilt and think she did such a wonderful job in creating the design.
What little girl wouldn't like to have All Dressed Up to decorate her bedroom?

Judi of Green Fairy Quilts did the fabulous longarm quilting.

I had so much fun making All Dressed Up, that I'm a little sad it's finished.
All of the dresses were hand appliqued.
Judi's quilting really "made" the quilt. She had such talent!
Some of the dresses have buttons.
And some are decorated with pearls.
A few have both ric rac and buttons.
Others were made with Texture Magic.

Texture Magic for the apron.

    Love your quilt! The texture magic worked great for some of the dresses. Wonderful quilting! Wish I was going to Ruby's to say "hi" but I'm not.

    I'm speechless. I've sat here and just looked over and over at your beautiful work. This is so darling. Your dresses are fabulous and your technique is amazing. I can't wait to see this in person when I come to your house. I'm a bit weepy over it. It is just so sweet.

    Even though I'm very generous in giving my quilts away...someone would have to fight me tooth and nail to get that one out of my hands. I just keep coming back to look at it over and over. It's such a pretty quilt and makes me happy just to see it. Beautiful quilting as well.

    A pleasure to meet you and visit your charming quilt. I love everything about this one. You did Nanette's pattern honor beyond words. All the little bits of detail make it wonderful, loving, sweet and charming. And the exceptional quilting, well as they say - "quilting makes the quilt." A winning team of artistry I should think!!! Again, a pleasure to meet you over such an exceptional Work of Art. *karendianne. Living Life at LeeHaven

    I love that quilt. The finished product is amazing. It would look beautiful in a little girls room. I am going to pick up a quilt today, so maybe I'll give you a call soon for a little help on the binding.

    This is STUNNING!! (I came here after Nanette posted a link.) Did you put the buttons and trims on after the quilting or before???? Seeing this reminds me that I have an unopened package of texture magic and have NEVER used it......*sigh* Better get myself moving, huh?

    oh the patience you have! - I wish I had that much! this is absolutely adorable!!! How big of a piece of fabric do you need for the dress. I have tons of scraps for my girls that I'm going to go through - and would love to make some dresses...maybe in a couple years my life will be calmer and i can make them quilts this cute! thanks! -kg

    Kerry,
    You didn't leave a way to reach you by e-mail, so I'll answer your question here:
    The dresses only need a scrap about 6" X 6". They are so fun to make, and are easy to applique!
