Swirly Dresden Plate WIP
This was inspired by a picture of a quilt called 'My Fair Lady' exhibited at the Arizona Quilt Show. That quilt was done with Stack and Whack and I can't do that but I did like the way my top came out. It looks a lot harder than it is. The colors are pink, grey and white with black accents. For the plate wedges, I cut a 3.5" strip of the main color, then sewed 1.5" strips of contrasting colors to the top and bottom. Then I used a 5.5" Dresden wedge and cut them out. I folded the wedge in half long ways with right sides together and sewed the top seam. I turned it right side out to make the point. I used a 7.5" square, sewed 5 of the wedges together, and hand appliqued them to the square. 4 squares for each block. I used black triangles as accents. The border was done with the Fons and Porter wedge template. I can't wait to quilt this - I am thinking of a pale grey thread and some really nice swirly feathers. It will be done on my Baby Lok Quilter's Pro domestic machine. I will post pics when its done.
