“Hope” is stitched into this wavy quilting of this background and a decorative scallop stitching adorns the bottom of this dress.

I’ve been having fun experimenting with different skin tones, though I am struggling to find the right balance of text and color for all sizes of quilts. This “skin” is a print of vintage yard sticks including the advertisement that people use to include on them. I quite like how some letters are large and the tick marks for measuring are small, what are your thoughts?
