As stated in my previous posts, Millie's Dresses is another wonderful pattern by Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet! She said this pattern was inspired by her grandmother. When I look at these dresses, they remind me of my Aunt Bill (her real name was Alice, but we always called her Bill instead, no idea why). Anyway, my Aunt Bill always wore dresses no matter what she was doing. They were never fancy, just a simple dress and an apron.

According to the QAL, 4 dresses would be completed each month. Although I got a late start, I was able to catch up and end up exceeding the time frame of the QAL. Like they say in the quilt world, "you are the boss of your own quilt", which means you can go as fast or as slow on a project as you want. 

In March I completed 8 dress blocks and in April I completed another 8 dress blocks. As of today, I have finally added the sashing and borders to complete the quilt top. For some reason when I add multiple borders to a quilt, the quilt becomes wavy. I hope I am able to work this out when I quilt on the longarm machine and not end up making it look crazy.

I love the dresses and the border that was done out of the same color fabrics as the dresses. Not too crazy about the other borders.
