I received and finished my first project, a Dresden Plate bed quilt. When I first saw it, I thought, Oh, big stitch quilting, this will be easy. Wrong!! It was big stitch because it had to be. I don't know what she had in the middle, my guess would be something like an army blanket. The edges were folded over and finished so I couldn't see. I believe it was QAYG as the back was made up of squares the same size as the front. Luckily most of the quilting was done, just some sashing and borders needed doing.

I'm not posting a picture as it was not my quilt. I got it done in time for the lady to bring it to her mom (who had started it but had to quit due to vision problems) a 10 hour drive away. It was beautiful in blues and maroons, and entirely hand pieced as well.

Now my next project is for a friend, a heavy old utility quilt that she loves, but has a big hole on one side. She wants it cut down and re-finished.
