Geranium Dress with Flora and Fawn

I sewed another dress for my little one! She loves flowers and pink so it is perfect! Plus this fabric has me all heart eyes!

I love the sweet floral print from Amanda Herring's Flora and Fawn collection mixed with Riley Blake Gingham! Mixing prints for clothing is one of my favorites to do.  I also used my favorite Geranium Dress Pattern with Expansion Pack by Made by Rae- it is my "go to" dress pattern. 

My little one loves to help me sew. She even picked out the cutest flower buttons for the dress back, she was disappointed that I didn't sew them to the dress front ;).

Supplies:

1. Flora and Fawn by Amanda Herring

2. Riley Blake Medium Gingham

3. Geranium Dress Pattern with Expansion Pack

4. Aurifil thread

I finished the dress just in time for Easter! We both love it ;) 

I sure love being on Amanda Herring's Creative Team! Her fabric is my style and I love it so much! I  received my fabric for her new Hello Lovely Collection and it is AMAZING! I wonder if I can request a bolt of each print???  I'm so excited to start sewing up my project for the Hello Lovely Blog Tour with Amanda and Riley Blake Designs!!!!

Have a great day!!!

Welcome to Month Four of the Clementine Quilt Along Fundraiser with Fat Quarter Shop! I love that Fat Quarter Shop and Moda Fabrics have partnered together to match donations up $20,000 to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital!

My fabrics

I choose my favorite Bonnie & Camille Aqua Fabrics to make my Clementine Quilt monochromatic. I am loving monochromatic projects right now!

• Bonnie & Camille: The Good Life
• Bonnie & Camille: Basics
• Bonnie & Camille: Handmade
• Background: Moda Bella Silky White Bleached (I love softness of the silky solids)

Making the Blocks:

Coconut Cross Block- Pattern and Video here

Tip-

I chose to cut my A and D squares to 2.5" (small block) and 3.5" (large block). This allowed me to trim my half square triangles to size. I love my Bloc-loc ruler for this!
