It's Chic to be Shabby

Here is the progress on my Chic to be Shabby quilt top.  I have based the hexagon and butterflies for hand applique.  The pieces that I am appliqueing now are all from vintage fabric.  Years ago I purchased pieces of vintage fabric that I am now getting around to using.

These Dresden Plates are also made from vintage fabric.  I found I have two more square frames that my Dad had made, and have decided It would be nice to made the Dresden's and frame them.  It is fun using my vintage finds.  This goes for the trims and buttons I have, too.

Enjoy sewing today.

Love your quilt. There is just something about those vintage fabrics that make me smile. Guess it is my age, but I love those fabrics. The little Dresden's are so cute too.
