A princess skirt !!
I met Marie, a very gifted designer in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines during our european quilt exhibition in September 2011.
Marie makes sooooooooo beautiful dresses !!
I asked her to make a pink skirt for me. I chose the fabrics and colors and... here it is !
Can you see the lovely lacing-up in the back ?????
She made me the black top too !!
I LOVE this skirt so much that I asked Marie if I can put it in my SKoW quilt.
She's so nice ! She gave me a sketch and little samplers of the same fabrics of my skirt...
and I make this :
Now I can tell you my deepest wish... to get the whole wardrobe of Arwen !!! ( you know the Elvish girl...) Of course it will need to be resized... but... all we need is DREAM !!!

Such a lovely way to personalise your quilt
beautiful outfit and what a lovely idea for your quilt,welldone.xx
I think that is a lovely idea....I plan to add more personal touches as well. I'm thinking of substituting a Bear for the shoes in one block....I'm no that into shoes, if I find a pair I really like then I buy several pairs in the same style and color....they last years and I don't buy shoes often....I know girls who have a pair for every outfit though...
And instead of "Gardening all day long" I'm thinking: Flower Gardens.

Florence - I love your skirt - but also I think its a great idea to use your skirt instead of jeans. I'm with Mama Bear - I was planning "A garden full of flowers" - really who wants to garden all day when they could be sewing??
Fantastic block! Thanks for showing us the original skirt too. You look gorgeous in that skirt!!!
Wonderful story! So much fun!
Great idea for any panel, smart you.
your skirt sure is gorgeous, and your block is stunning,well done,cheers Vickie
Gorgeous skirt & suits you Florence. How nice to have an outfit no one else has exactly the same. xx
