I love all the little dresses too.<br /><br />I was thinking Gene had a great idea about bigger embroidery running stitches all around the dresses. Or, what it you tool embroidery floss to match the dresses an "re-attach" the buttons like you would if you were tying the quilt. I think it might look cute with the colored floss ties on the front of the buttons. It would be an embellishment and also serve to hold it together. <br /><br />Are you going to use this quilt or use it as a wall hanging, or...?Robin (RsIslandCrafts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06875986169322073281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075387365881904982.post-24063804210988477422010-06-15T22:57:35.620-04:002010-06-15T22:57:35.620-04:00It's adorable!

Darn those buttons would have made for nice way to do it but sure you do not want to do them a 3rd time...;-)<br />How about some random stitched small cute coat hangers or hearts thread to match your background. Make for a cute border quilting motif as well.<br />Also could just do a simple X where needed to hold all together.<br />Hugs,<br />Lolaandsewonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217697598519788982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075387365881904982.post-52989063155792080682010-06-14T19:16:20.239-04:002010-06-14T19:16:20.239-04:00Oh Tonya, it has turned out just great, I am defin...Oh Tonya, it has turned out just great, I am definitely going to start mine now. I love this. I wish I were near you I would love to quilt it for you. But, maybe you could hand quilt a flower a very simple one in between the dresses, and go round them all, the dresses I mean, in a thread that matches the dress, ie, yellow round yellow, pink round pink etc etc. Tie it on your machine, it is possible you know. I do that a lot when I am not in the mood to fully quilt. Love to see what you do in the end. Tomorrow I am going to sort out some 'pretties' for this. Cant wait now.

You could use white embroidery floss (to match the background) and just sew "straight" lines - just jiggey jagging around the dresses from one edge to the other. And I don't mean those tiny stitches..be different and use bigger (1/4 inch or larger) stitches.

I just set the stitch length at 0 and used a medium width zig-zag with a matching thread. It holds the layers together but does not really show.
