Modern Dresden Plate
 
4 Attachment(s)
A traditional block using modern fabrics. I guess that makes it a Modern Dresden. I am still not so sure what makes a quilt "modern". I used Darlene Zimmerman's EZ Dresden ruler to make the petals, then quilted the center using a curved arc - reminds me of a Spirograph game when I was a kid. The background and border quilting just followed the pattern of the fabric. I sure like my new table topper.

​Super cool! I love your Spirograph quilting. How on earth did you get it so perfectly spaced?

This is my thought too! Amazing how the fabrics and quilting lines change the DP completely. Wonderful!!

Great choice of fabric. I love it.

Lori S 09-11-2012 07:03 AM

This is so wonderfully different!! The quilting really gives a whole new look to the dresden.

nellybelle 09-11-2012 07:06 AM

that is really awesome. I was so glad when you took a picture so we could see it in another way. It would make a wonderful wall hanging.

Lisa_wanna_b_quilter 09-11-2012 07:07 AM

It just seems to swirl. Very pretty.

RedGarnet222 09-11-2012 07:08 AM

This is inspiring to look at. Everything is just prefect about it. I could stare at it a hour... lol.

wolph33 09-11-2012 07:14 AM

beautiful.I have some of the same fabrics.

pollyjvan9 09-11-2012 07:18 AM

Beautiful table topper. I love that fabric!

Kitsie 09-11-2012 07:44 AM

WOW! Its spectacular! You certainly didn't choose the easiest of fabrics to work with, but they are stunning and the quilting is so perfect for the designs. Love how you used the curved of the center to add so much motion to it!

oma66 09-11-2012 07:47 AM

I can see why you love your new table topper - it is gorgeous and the fabrics are very special. You did an excellent job of keeping the design straight in the background and border - very impressive.

DebraK 09-11-2012 07:59 AM

Really cool the way you quilted it it. Looks like one of those beautiful Dahlia quilts. Nice illusion. Good job on the fabric choices as well.

BrendaK 09-11-2012 08:03 AM

Lovely table topper no matter what color you used. BrendaK

lfstamper 09-11-2012 08:04 AM

WOW - sure is pretty in those colors!

dunster 09-11-2012 08:29 AM

I am amazed and delighted by the way you quilted it. The arcs change the flow completely, and make it much more interesting. Your fabrics are also very unusual and perfect for this table topper.

landers1 09-11-2012 08:35 AM

Beautiful!!!!

0tis 09-11-2012 08:46 AM

Wow I love it - I really do think you took a traditional pattern and made it much more modern with the colors and the quilt design. You could call it "Not Your Grandmothers Dresden" - I love how this just brings the traditional and adds a new spin to make it more contemporary. Good job.

AZ Cottontail Quilter 09-11-2012 08:48 AM

OUTSTANDING!!! Great eye for design.

QuiltingKathie 09-11-2012 09:08 AM

Those colours speak out.

sassey 09-11-2012 10:13 AM

Wow that is the prettiest dresiden ever.

Knitnoid 09-11-2012 10:15 AM

Very pretty. The quilting at first glance makes it look like a Dahlia.
