WIPs Be Gone Week 21

Here's a WIP of a dress -  WIP #12 to be precise.  All it needs is for me to sew on the buttons and hem it.  Why it has taken me 10 years I don't know.  3 of the 12 buttons sewn on.  And I'll have to find a hook and eye somewhere.  I got rid of all my clothes sewing notions in my last purge. Oh my.'
And I made another Hexi - this time a star - for WIP #3.
My first one.  I followed Karen's of Faeries and Fibres blog tutorial and it went together much easier than I thought. She has excellent directions.  I dread paper piecing, but it's getting better each time I do it.  This flower is a little less than 4" across at it's widest points.  I used 3/4" hexagons to make it. 
I'm linking to Richard's Link A Finish, Amanda's Finish it Up Friday, and Sarah's Can I get a Whoop, Whoop?.  

So that's my progress for this week.  How about your WIPs?  How are you doing on those?  Would love to see - doesn't have to be a finish, but we'll admire those, too.  Linky below - remember it doesn't even have to be a new post. Ends Monday, midnight.  Lots of eye candy on the NET.  Have a great weekend!

    I had a little chuckle when you said the dress WIP is 10 yrs old. If that were mine it would need more than buttons, I've put on 30 lbs in 10 yrs.

    I believe I have some of your dress fabric in my stash ... I intended to make a camp shirt from it and still haven't even begun. Congratulations to you for finishing your dress.

    I have a sweatshirt jacket I started years ago that will probably never be finished, so don't feel like you are alone--haha! I love your hexie!

    I found myself thinking if I finished a dress that was 10 years old would it still fit me...hmmm, maybe not unless it was lycra ;-) That's an awesome hexie!
