Batik Dresden Plate - Made this for my brother
 
6 Attachment(s)
I just got this back from the Maggie, a member of CAMEO Guild who does professional quilting. The quilting is done all free-hand. This is the second Dresden Plate that I have done. I think this is one of my favorite patterns.

I still need to do the binding, put on a hanging sleeve, and make a label. Although, I do need to name the quilt. Any suggestions for the name?

"Beautiful Dresden Plate". That is the name of it. I just love it. So bright and beautiful.

DebraK 09-05-2012 02:51 PM

beautiful job.

Grandma Bonnie 09-05-2012 03:00 PM

That is about the most beautiful dresden plate quilt I have seen. The quilting on it is wonderful, too! You both did a great job!

"Hello Gorgeous" describes it perfectly. Just outstanding.

That reminds me of garden flowers, pinwheels, and wind. It is gorgous. I name in something like Garden Spinners, or Spinning in the Wind. No matter what you call it, it is beautiful. A rose by any other name smells just as sweet.

"Shades of Dresden" would be appropriate. I love it! I just had a customer ask me for a bright quilt for their log cabin in TN. Boy does this fit the bill!

"Hello Gorgeous: Beautiful Dresden Plate" I think I like that.

MarshaEIEIO 09-05-2012 03:20 PM

Peggy Jeanne 09-05-2012 03:23 PM

You did a wonderful job, and the quilting is amazing!

sewgarden 09-05-2012 03:24 PM

Great job, you've made a beautiful quilt and Maggie has done a great job with the quilting. I love dresden plates too.

moonwork42029 09-05-2012 03:25 PM

I think you should name it "Possum Trot Plates" and send it to me :)

0tis 09-05-2012 03:27 PM

Wow - I am breathless (perhaps that could be the name). I love it.

I think I may be your long lost sister (one can hope). :)

Evelynquilts 09-05-2012 03:33 PM

Beautiful...great job both of you :)

"Twirling Plates of Beauty" .......................and it sure is!!! A gorgeous quilt - beautiful selection of fabrics and the quilting is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

Quilter 65 09-05-2012 03:55 PM

If I had made one as pretty as that, they would be having to put me in cement shoes to keep me earthbound. That is just gorgeous and what a different way to set the border (at least to me). I like the centers overlapping the sashing. Wow, wow, wow!

bstock 09-05-2012 04:02 PM

Very nice!!! I love it!!

I go To The Sea To Breathe 09-05-2012 04:04 PM

I love your quilt. And the quilting is awesome...beautiful

luce321 09-05-2012 04:05 PM

Absolutely beautiful and the quilting is gorgeous. Maybe it could be "Twirling Petals".

katier825 09-05-2012 04:07 PM

That is beautiful!

landers1 09-05-2012 04:08 PM

Beautiful,Beautiful!!!!

"Spinning in the Wind" I like that one, too.

You all did well...it's beautiful!

decky 09-05-2012 05:00 PM

Beautiful quilt, reminds me of rainbows.

I suppose "outrangously gorgeous" wouldn't be a good name but it sure describes it.

frustratedquilter40 09-05-2012 05:21 PM

This is so beautiful the quilting is amazing and the colors you used are beautiful..Love the Dresden plate have never seen in batiks:)

Homespun 09-05-2012 05:32 PM

So very pretty!

DogHouseMom 09-05-2012 05:38 PM

Well ... Dresden "Plates" in all different colors reminds me of Fiesta dinnerware. So how about ...

Fiesta Plates
Senor Fiesta (I can't do the little squiggle above the n)
Batik Fiesta
Cotton Fiesta

I like Senor Fiesta the best, say's a guy made it.

Debbie B 09-05-2012 05:39 PM

At first I thought that the plates were quilted with circles and then at a closer look I saw that the fabrics for the plates are stripes. Your color choices are just beautiful. I love everything about it.

redquilter 09-05-2012 06:12 PM

That's breathtaking. Your work and color choices are incredible and the quilting is amazing. I absolutely love it. You can always call it Redquilter's quilt and send it to me! :)

Grandma Peg 09-05-2012 06:25 PM

What a beautiful quilt and quilting. You did a great job on it, adding the applique really adds so much. Agree with you that the dresden is such a cool pattern with so many ways to finish it.

kristen0112 09-05-2012 06:26 PM

Beautiful quilt! No idea on name :-)

moreland 09-05-2012 06:37 PM

What gorgeous colors--it is a beautiful quilt and beautifully quilted.

suebee 09-05-2012 06:45 PM

Gorgeous dresden! Maggie did a fabulous job quilting it. Just stunning!!

anothernancy 09-05-2012 06:48 PM

OHH my gosh!!! That is beautiful!! I would love to make something like that in the future. Just lovely!!!!

quiltingcandy 09-05-2012 07:13 PM

Wow - you and your quilter have made a beautiful quilt.

Diane007 09-05-2012 07:15 PM

Simply love the quilt and the quilting

lue 09-05-2012 07:24 PM

Beautiful! I wish I could call it "mine!" It looks like raw silk! I've been threatening to do a Dresden Plate for years and I'm inspired constantly when I see ones as beautiful as yours!

kateyb 09-05-2012 07:30 PM

What a beautiful Dresdan Plate. The fabric is great. The quilting really goes with the quilt design.
