twirls

Late last night I finished Holly's skirt! I am so pleased with how it has turned out, and Holly is wearing it as I write this. Hopefully it is just the right combination of looking good and lasting too, I have tried to make it as washing machine friendly as possible. This last picture shows the strip of patchwork that I put together before attaching it to the skirt, I had great fun choosing which fabrics to use. : )

Oh, it's great! I'd pictured a 'crazy quilt' patchwork skirt when I saw all the fabric you had in mind, but I love this much, much more.
