Dotty For Dresden.....By Charisma
 
3 Attachment(s)
OK Remember that little Obsession I have spoken of before?

Material Obsession....Well yes...this one is also part of that.

Mine looks a bit different than the book because let's face it....it needed to have a bit of “Charisma” flavor added to it.

The pattern in the book is called “Dotty For Dresden”

So to make the dresdens I used the cheater method they explain in the book....They have a template that you can copy and cut out to me your dresdens..I decided to go down to my local glass place..they made me a template from plexiglass for like 3$. It made the process of cutting them out so much easier. Then I spent time sorting my scraps..picking scraps that appeal to me..LOL...which you see here in all their glory. I also added yo-yo's...many many yo-yos..to give it dimension..I love dimension.

Thanks so much for looking!

You forgot to add your obsession for pink. I see a lot of it. Beautiful quilt and quilting of course.

YEs..Indeed! I LOVE pink! HA! Thank you!

Very dimensional! Love the quilting, it really creates flow and movement, makes the Dresdens look like lilies swirling on a pond. The way you did the yo-yos is genius. Colors are super-cheerful. What a fun, pretty, happy quilt to see on a gloomy day in Chicago. Thx!

luce321 01-13-2012 04:27 PM

Beautiful job. I love the yo-yo's/

Nanamoms 01-13-2012 04:29 PM

I run out of words to describe your work...so gorgeous, beautiful, delightful, interesting...etc.!!

Nettie Phillips 01-13-2012 04:30 PM

Beautiful!!!!

That's AWESOME Charisma! I love the fact you didn't plan the layout of each dresden. (Maybe you did plan it out, but, it isn't deliberate!) I am making a dresden right now for a friend, and am being spontaneous with the layout of each one. You're simply the best!

joyce888 01-13-2012 06:38 PM

Very pretty and I like the additions of the yo-yo's.

xsquilter 01-13-2012 06:40 PM
