There was leftover fabric from Joan's wedding dress quilt and she asked for a clutch to give her daughter. It's not something I'm particularly good at, so I turned to my friend Carol, who is SUPER good at purse-making.</div>

The dark purple tulle from the bridesmaid dresses I used as an additional border on two sides.<br />

I didn't tack those down or stitch them together because, since this used to be a dress, I like the idea of it still having fluidity.<br />

I didn't want to label each square with tape or a pin because I might have damaged the fabric. Instead, I packaged each "line" in a baggie, sewed each line together and then put them back in the baggie which I then labeled.<br />

I need to lay it out again just to make sure I didn't make any mistakes and then I'll sew the lines together.<br />
<br />
The Lines:<br />

Here it is, all sewn together. The only thing that remains is to add a line at the top and a line at the bottom. I wasn't originally going to but I have white left and it will frame the pink and add to the overall length of the piece.<br />
<br />

There's still so much tulle left and the beautiful beaded overskirt, so I'd like to use those in some way. I guess we'll see what happens!<br />
<br />
Okay, the top is done:<br />

Still not sure about that back, but I think I'm going to applique the tops of each bridesmaid dress onto the skirts and then sew them together at the waists so that they fan out top to bottom. I know that probably doesn't make any sense and it'll still leave a few holes, but for now that's the best I got.<br />
<br />
Okay, here they are: I've attached each bodice to a skirt and then sewed the skirts together at the waist. Next I'm going to add some tulle and we'll go from there.<br />

Okay, here it is!! The wedding dress quit is DONE. You can see that in each corner I appliqued pieces of the beaded over skirt, and along each edge is tulle taken from the underskirts of the little girls' dresses (there was more of it so I used it instead of the one from the wedding gown).<br />
