First up are a couple of Jayme based dresses for Dani:

The PRR stripes one is what I like to call "that dress that probably wasnt meant to be." :rolleyes: It took forever to make the binding, I serged a hole in the bodice when securing the skirt, then as soon as she wore it, Dani spilled vanilla extract down the front of it (note to self: buy a lock for the pantry :mad: ). Thankfully it came clean because Id really like to others to see how the stripes line up almost perfectly (a huge accomplishment for me - lol)

Next up is a twin-sized flannel rag quilt for Lukes trailer bed:

I dont know how others have made larger quilts. The clipping on this one about knocked me over the edge and I still have one to do for Dani *sigh*.

Thanks for looking :)

The Jayme dresses are adorable, I love love the striped one. The rag quilt is super cute, I made one about a twin size and that'll probably be the last one for a loooooonnnnnggggg time, :lol:. One thing I found that helped were those Fisker, or whatever the brandname is, sissors, the ones w/the little pointy blades helped a ton.

Everything looks fabulous!! I love the stripe dress--can't see any boo-boos from here :D Great rag quilt too--Katie clips them for me, you just need to have a couple more kids to do those tedious chores :lol:

The quilt looks great! Furby has two of those prints in his rag quilt. I have another quilt on my list, too. I really really like the little spring loaded Fiskars for clipping mine. :thumbsup:

The rag quilt looks great. My mother bought these little spring loaded rag quilt scissors at the quilt store that help quite a bit.

I love the Jayme dresses too. Those are on my list of things I want to try.

Very cute stuff, love the PRR dress especially. Kudos on the rag quilt. I agree with Becka, those Fiskars handle scissors make life much easier!

Cute dresses! I love rag quilts and they do tend to get a bit tedious with all that clipping. I have a pair of spring loaded scissors that are meant for rag quilting. I got them at Joanns with my coupon. They are Fiskars but has a short blunt blade on them, can't remember what they call them but they are made specifically for rag quilting. Love all the gadgets :)

it all came out great!

I used a surgical seam ripper on mine. Well actually I started with scissors and decided it was for the birds so switched to the seam ripper. Stuck the point in and pulled up.

OH the dresses are cute :)

Love rag quilts. I'd recommend the fiskars scissors but I think it might have already been mentioned :P

Thanks, ladies :)

Thanks for all the recommendations on scissors - I actually bought them before starting the quilt because I heard they were really helpful. Oh, what a difference!
