Ohhh what a idea great ! Not only that but you could use this pattern as a memory quilt as well or a heirloom for siblings and grandkids or nieces/ nephews. ❤❤
The dresses remind me so much of my Mom. It would be so great if I had fabric from her dresses to sew this pattern. I wasn’t planning on sewing this one but I might have to now. Thanks for a great tutorial Kimberly.
Yes, I'm sewing along & excited to start as my kit has arrived!!! Great tips for cutting some pieces a tiny bit larger for most accurate trimming. Will need to watch & pause, when cutting & sewing the first few blocks. I remember this style & print type from the 60's. This will be fun!!! 2 more Pineapple Blocks to go on Petit Four QAL, too. Gives me 15 minutes a day to relax while being primary Retired Hospice Home Care RN caregiver for my 96+ year old mom, now with Hospice care in our home as my assessment + pain relief visit every 2.5 hours, around the clock. Watched this after the 3:45 a.m. assessment & care this morning.
The first thing I thought was this is what my granny used to wear😊 She lived a very long life and I am the fifth generation on my moms side. Brings back a lot of me memories for me❤ Cute!
Kimberly, I just love how concisse and clear you are with your instructions! A "complicated" block always is simple when you walk us through it! Thanks for your tips and tricks. Just love Lori's ideas and patterns also!
Thank you, Kimberly and Lori. This quilt reminds me of my Grandmother's house dresses. She never ever wore slacks. A crisp ironed house dress and apron were always the order for the day at home. ❤
I’m sewing along and using most of Lori’s fabrics and also using fabrics used from my daughter’s dresses. This quilt will be a gift to her! Love this tutorial! Thank you, Kimberly!❤
I have this kit so I'll be doing the sew along, I think I'm gonna customize some of the dresses with pockets, buttons, rick rack and tuck a hankie in the pockets like my grandmother use to do!
I love your attention to detail and accuracy, Kimberly. You are a true inspiration for me to always strive toward accuracy. I am not sewing along on this QAL, however, you may have inspired me to make a pillow with this block. So cute!!!
I bought the original Millie's Dresses pattern 12 years ago and it is still in a box with some Lori Holt fabric to go with it. I thought I would make it for my grandmother one day, since the dresses reminded me of her and she taught me how to quilt. Sadly, I never got it done. But I will make the quilt someday. Adorable.
I have a dress that was my grandmother’s, she has been gone a long time. I would love to make this pattern. Then I would get a dress from my mom and her three sisters. I would call the quilt Mother and Daughters. My mom is 89 years old. I think she would love it.
Your tip for joining at waistband on these dresses helped a lot. I was tairing my hair out until I listened to video again and heard your tip. Thank you.
This is perfect for SO many quilts! Clothes of loved ones, i.e., Mom, sister, friend, granddaughter, etc. Also perfect for memory quilts. Absolutely precious! Love, love, love this! ❤
Hi Kimberly, Thank you for the tutorial and the length tips. I do get issues with under cuts and lots of seam ripping 😢 so I will definitely try your method. Wasn’t going to do this quilt as I bought the Mercantile quilt but this looks so fun! - maybe a runner for my bedroom bureau and small ones for my night stands! All the best! ~ Doreen B
Nice to bring this back. It's a cute one. I can see making it retro, vintage or modern depending on which fabrics you use. Using my great gram's nightgowns could be a fun idea as a "keepsake" quilt.
So appreciate the time and effort you put into each and every video….never get tired of hearing the directions since they are so helpful. Am enjoying being able to see other fabric options but definitely prefer the blue background.
These dresses remind me of my grandmas too. Just need to add an apron here and there. I’m surprised at how big the blocks are. The collars look so tiny when the quilt was hanging up. Very pretty Lori.
I'm waiting to order my pattern and mercantile fabric, hoping it'll still be there when I can. I love this pattern, reminds me of my great grandmother! Thanks for making another great pattern!
I just received my paper pattern yesterday. So excited to make this. I will be using small scale Halloween 👻 fabrics because it’s my favorite holiday. I can’t wait to start. Thank you Kimberly for this tutorial.
So excited to be sewing along with you. I bought this pattern from FQS a year or two ago. I hope there weren’t too many changes from the original pattern and I can still follow along! 😀
I got my kit! Little nervous, I am use to layer cakes and jelly rolls. I hope I cut my fabric the correct way or I hope you show us the best way to cut ❤️ so we don’t mess it up.
After doing the School in session Bench pillow I think I'm ready to attack this. 12 years ago I don't think I was ready but I'm ready for the challenge.
I am loving this. I made a test block using the pattern instructions, but want to cut as you did. Am I correct when you said in the video that you cut "K" as 1 3/4 x 2 rather than 1 1/4 x 2? Thank you so very much. I appreciate your help.
I am cutting this quilt out. I had previously bought a kit from that quarter shop. The fabric for the collar and bell prints, show to Riley red am I to double cut from this fabric?
Kimberly, I’m frustrated. I spent forever choosing fabric from my LH collection, some of which I was saving for a project like this. I must be missing something. I cut out all the pieces I would need, and began. My first block is off at the waistband/belt area. No way to fix it. The second block is worse… then I found your video, sooo much help. Wish I’d watched it sooner. So I can either try your tips for pinning to match up where it needs to go, or start over and cut according to your instructions. If I try to stick with what I have, I can trim so they are all the same size block, but I’m still fighting to match up where the pieces should come together?? Are her seams quarter inch, or scant eighth inch? I’m sure I just need to learn more and keep practicing… suggestions? Just so you know, I love FQS, the fabrics, the shop, the staff, etc. thx
I love this pattern and am excited to do the SAL and make this for a friend. I'm newer to quilting, why is she switching feet? I don't understand that process/reasoning. Thanks
Hello Eryn! When Kimberly needs her fabric to be on one side for sewing things like four patches. When she needs to sew a line down the middle of the fabric she uses an open toe foot.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I am tearing my hair out at the tiny flying geese panel sadly. It just never comes out the right size, it is always a bit too small. I double checked I have the right pattern pieces (2" square and 2" x 3 1/2" rectangle). I made sure to sew on the diagnonal etc, but at most I get to 1 1/2" x 3" final result, when it is supposed to be 2" x 3 1/2" any advice on what I could be doing wrong?
I would love to have this pattern. However, I don't have a computer to download the pattern. Also, what is the name of the glue you use? I make quilt tops and use anything that helps me get my squares correct. Keep us the good work!
OK I am another true crime fan I watch all the crime shows law and order criminal minds all of them. I’ve seen them more than once, so you’re not the only one.
I want to do the sew along, I’m asking is this Accu quilt friendly? I’ve been reviewing my purchased pattern. I’m asking if these are cut by a ruler measure with 1/4” inc? Die cutting includes the quarter inch if I understand that right. Thank you. 🪡🧵✂️
I think these would be so awesome if I could have used some of my mom's dresses. This reminds me of my mom ❤
Ohhh what a idea great ! Not only that but you could use this pattern as a memory quilt as well or a heirloom for siblings and grandkids or nieces/ nephews. ❤❤
The dresses remind me so much of my Mom. It would be so great if I had fabric from her dresses to sew this pattern. I wasn’t planning on sewing this one but I might have to now. Thanks for a great tutorial Kimberly.
Thanks Kimberly for all the tips❣️ I think I’m making a dress block as a wall hanging. It’s just too cute.
OMG, the fiddliness of this piecing. Appliqué is so much easier.

Thanks Lori and Kimberly...my grandmothers wore these types of house dresses...can't remember them ever wearing slacks❤❤
Kimberly, I just love how concisse and clear you are with your instructions! A "complicated" block always is simple when you walk us through it! Thanks for your tips and tricks. Just love Lori's ideas and patterns also!
Enjoyed the video, Kimberly, and also your cutting extra tips ! Always love Lori patterns !!
Thank you, Kimberly and Lori. This quilt reminds me of my Grandmother's house dresses. She never ever wore slacks. A crisp ironed house dress and apron were always the order for the day at home. ❤
These dresses remind me so much of my mother and her sisters !!!
Nothing like a walk down memory lane !!! Love the blocks. 👊👏🏿👍🏿🙌🏼⭕️❌🎈💖🥰
This block would be adorable with border and framed to gift a seamstress friend who sews dresses for every little girl at church
I’m sewing along and using most of Lori’s fabrics and also using fabrics used from my daughter’s dresses. This quilt will be a gift to her! Love this tutorial! Thank you, Kimberly!❤

Time to start starching! The kit is wonderful!!
Kimberly thanks for the tips of making bigger. I wasn’t going to do this one but after the tutorial I changed my mind & ordered the pattern.
This is darling! I have so much fabric I have not used that I could use for this! How darling it would be in vintage 1930’s fabric!
Such a cute pattern!!! Thanks for all the great tips Kimberly!!!
I will definitely be sewing along! So glad that it’s available as pdf
yes I am going to sew a long with this pattern, but I think I will make a smaller quilt. thank you for your tips.
I bought the original Millie's Dresses pattern 12 years ago and it is still in a box with some Lori Holt fabric to go with it. I thought I would make it for my grandmother one day, since the dresses reminded me of her and she taught me how to quilt. Sadly, I never got it done. But I will make the quilt someday. Adorable.
The sew along will be the perfect time to do it❤
I have a dress that was my grandmother’s, she has been gone a long time. I would love to make this pattern. Then I would get a dress from my mom and her three sisters. I would call the quilt Mother and Daughters. My mom is 89 years old. I think she would love it.
So glad this is an “It’s so Emma” pattern with all the instruction included . Thanks for the “Kimberly” tips for cutting larger!
Just ordered my pattern a couple of days ago. Can’t wait to get it.
Your tip for joining at waistband on these dresses helped a lot. I was tairing my hair out until I listened to video again and heard your tip. Thank you.
Adorable Kimberley, this pattern would be great using a dark background with white dresses for a nurse’s quilt 😊
This is perfect for SO many quilts! Clothes of loved ones, i.e., Mom, sister, friend, granddaughter, etc. Also perfect for memory quilts. Absolutely precious! Love, love, love this! ❤
I think I'll make a few blocks and place them as if hanging out on the line to dry. It will be cute for my below the TV wall runner.( hides the cords)
What a cute idea 😊😊
This would be so cute. Great to use for memory quilt
I pièce the Kimberley way!!!
So adorable. Thx, Kimberly, for showing us how to sew it!
I have a lot of tiny pieces of my grandmothers fabrics.. so I am thinking I can incorporate those into this quilt
Thanks for the cutting tips!
I am so excited!!!! I fell in love with this quilt and my son surprised me and ordered the kit yesterday. I can't wait for it to get here!!!!
Beautiful

Such a cute pattern. Would love to make this but can't imagine who I would give it to.
I love that you make the pieces bigger and trim them down ❤️
Nice to bring this back. It's a cute one. I can see making it retro, vintage or modern depending on which fabrics you use. Using my great gram's nightgowns could be a fun idea as a "keepsake" quilt.
What a great idea for a memory quilt… wish I had my mom’s dresses…. I may find my daughters clothes from when they were little
So appreciate the time and effort you put into each and every video….never get tired of hearing the directions since they are so helpful. Am enjoying being able to see other fabric options but definitely prefer the blue background.
The dresses are so cute.
I am sewing along. I bought the kit so mine will be sewn with Lori's Mercantile fabric. Thank you for the tips!
These dresses remind me of my grandmas too. Just need to add an apron here and there. I’m surprised at how big the blocks are. The collars look so tiny when the quilt was hanging up. Very pretty Lori.
I’m sewing along and thanks for such a fabulous tutorial!

This is a lovely pattern quilt block. A must have ❤❤❤
So pretty! Great tips, thanks!
Thank you for the wonderful tips. I already bought the kit and will be starching the fabric this week. Looking forward to the quilt along .
So excited to be sewing along with you. I bought this pattern from FQS a year or two ago. I hope there weren’t too many changes from the original pattern and I can still follow along! 😀
I gave to do millies dresses. My mom's name was millie. And she was a young mother at the 50's.
You’ve talked me into this one. I love it! Time to order the pattern, background and border to use with my Lori Holt fabrics. 💞
I got my kit! Little nervous, I am use to layer cakes and jelly rolls. I hope I cut my fabric the correct way or I hope you show us the best way to cut ❤️ so we don’t mess it up.
Love this!
Thanks I love this and might make a table runner for my dresser with this!
After doing the School in session Bench pillow I think I'm ready to attack this. 12 years ago I don't think I was ready but I'm ready for the challenge.

Hello Rebecca! Kimberly uses a 1/4" seam.
I love this pattern and am excited to do the SAL and make this for a friend.
