Hexagon Dress
My favorite aunt growing up was my Aunt Evelyn, my mother's older sister. She taught me to love romance novels, quilting, and needlepoint. At the end of her life, she gave me most of her quilt squares, and I was amazed to find these tiny hexagons among them. I hope she was going to make them into a miniature quilt, because if her plans were for a full size quilt made from these tiny 1" hexagons, she would have needed several more years and a few helpers to get it done! Suffice it to say that my plans for them are to make them into a miniature quilt. I love the summery feel to this dress! The navy floral full bodice tucks quite nicely into the slender high waist of the dress, which then billows out slightly to a gentle puff skirt. Add navy hose and a wide-brimmed hat -- and summer is yours!
