I copied your pattern this weekend using Amy Butler "Love" fabrics Unfortunately, it's going to end up costing me a small fortune. I bought a fabric (not Amy Butler, unfortunately) for the outside border and as I was walking out of the store, saw another one and bought it. So that was about $18.00.....then when I got it home, I didn't like either of them with the Dresden plate fabrics. So then I decided to get on line and order a matching fabric from the Love collection by Amy and that was another $8.00//// Boy have I learned a lot. Next time I'll get all my fabric at one time so I know it will coordinate. I just LOVE this pattern and it's sooooo quick to put together. Question: did you sew a blanket stitch around each paddle of the plate? Keep posting your pictures. I'm great at copying someone else fantastic work. You do beautiful work and your color selections are fantastic.
