Thinking Spring with Fantastic Fabrics

I am committing myself to start working through my fabric stash. I started last night with this dress using Kristen Doran's handprinted fabric on the top and Michael Miller's Garden Pindot in black and red on the skirt. When I put it all together, it didn't look right so I added the squares of Kristen's fabric along the seam line where the black and red fabrics connect. I've had this patchwork idea for awhile, just waiting to use it somewhere.

OK, it took me 3 days to finally get something done! And here it is. I used my dyed hemp/rayon for the stems and centers and yellow wool felt for the dot flower, cool. I love this look. I also fused the appliques on so I don't have to sew them but I like the look of stitching so I think I will. I might also add some green leaves and I will trim the hemline with yellow pom poms, adorable!

This is the bodice:

I also have a flower on the back of the dress at the hemline.
