    Wink Dresden Plate Quilt by Jingle

    I finally decided this would be #8 for this year. Background squares are 17" unfinished. I only had the fan ruler, which makes a narrow blade. I spent a lot of time trying to figure how wide to cut them.
    I got a Darlene Zimmerman ruler, if I decide to make anymore I will be equipped.
    Can you tell I have lots of the floral. Found I had three large yardage pieces.
    The backing fabric has nothing to do with the front. After working on this for a month I didn't want to mess with sewing fabrics together. It worked, close to the right size.
    Thanks for looking.

    Beautiful quilt! I really like the way you arranged the fabrics in the blades of the dresden fan. It looks so springy and fresh!
