[QUOTE=BOOBOOBEAR9999;5667559]here's my dresden:[/QUOTECongratulations on posting your picture! Are you going to machine applique the center circle onto your plate first? I think I would match the thread on the points to whatever coloured center you decided to do. If you use extra thick black thread for appliqueing them, it gives a folksy or old fashioned look. You can also match the thread to the background fabric colour.
