Girls in White Dresses with Blue Satin Sashes


I love movies.  Before having kids I would go to the theatre weekly as a way to unwind and escape!  
One of my favorite movies of all time  is The Sound of Music.  I've seen it over a dozen times and cry every time I watch : )

We are wrapping up the second round of the Cocorico Bee.  It is a quilting bee I joined a few years ago.  Amy is the last recipient in round 2.  Needless to say, I was thrilled she chose "My Favourite Things" from The Sound of Music for her theme. 


I chose "Girls in White Dresses with Blue Satin Sashes". I used my Vintage Dresses Pattern as a starting point and made a few revisions to make it look a bit more like a little girl's dress.
The white on white dot I have had in my stash.  The yellow dot is from Lakehouse Drygoods "Lake House Favorites".  The scallop is from an older Lecien Print.

Enjoy your day!

    I had originally thought the scallops were from a fabric Amy screenprinted a few years ago, it looks very similar!

    That is so special! I just love your apron and that song? Oh, I loved it, esp the long version. What great years those were!

    I was thinking of another song, but I do love the Sound of Music!

    Very vintage, I really like it. The scallop, the sash, the bow - it's all very sweet and well balanced. Nice one!

    Such a beautiful block!! The dress is just so perfect: I love the blue scallop fabric and how it enhances the dress, and the yellow background sets it all off perfectly! Hugs, H in Healdsburg

    My favorite movie, too. Way back, in 3rd grade, I played Marta in the community play of Sound of Music. I'm still waiting for my 'pink parasol' to arrive.
