Really pretty!

That's lovely!

Thank you Owl, Tessa, and Anael :) Here is one more picture I would like to share of another Dresdan project Im working on. Dresdan plates are lots of fun. :thumbup:

Jenniky.........I love this block too, you have done an amazing job making it. Now I am envious, did you use the same template as you did for your original Dresden Plate? It looks similar to a OBW pattern.
:D :D :D :D

Not sure what OBW stands for... I used a different template and layered all of the fabric layered perfectly on their repeats.... tacked them in place and then cut stacks of 12 blades. :)

OBW is short for One Block Wonder. It is the very same way that you have made your second Dresden plate. I just love the way it turns out when you stack your fabric & cut it this way.
:D :D :D :D

Hope darling daughter appreciates this ugly thing. What a nightmare, curves, points, applique, whew, glad that's over.
Off to sleep & tomorrow need to work on grandbaby's fairie quilt for her 3rd birthday this summer.

Love these blocks. That paisley block is a stunner.

Jenniky, I love your paisley block. Like Sulabug said it sure looks like a OBW.
djmat, I like your block. I think it has a modern appearance. Spent yesterday at the ball field watching grandson play so today I play!

I don't know why you would call it ugly.. I think it looks grand. :thumbup:

Thanks Mimi and Sula.... OBW is probably the name of the technique Im using. with the stacking. It is a really fun to see what comes out .

Not very fond of Steeler Nation colors, thought daughter would want more colors than yellow, black, grey & white in this quilt. I have to add 12 more ugly blocks to make the queen layout that she wants. Glad I'm halfway through!
At least I'm learning new techniques. Thanks, Jen!!!

Jen, I really love your paisley dresden, it is awesome!

Hadn't made a Dresden Plate with this type of circle before, I like it, thanks! [ATTACH=CONFIG]416824[/ATTACH]

Djamat - The colors are nice, just don't think of them as Steelers colors.

Thimblebug I like the floating planet. It's a happy block.

I'm cheating a little, this is the one I did for the Craftsy class last year I still haven't done anything with it. I may make another one in a different style. I used scraps for the blades, the pepper fabric was from a shirt I made my DH last year also.

WOW you're all so fast!

Jenniky, I love your paisley block!
Djamat, I don't see anything ugly, I love it!
Thimblebug, yours is beautiful too! Like Dedemac said, it's floating!
Dedemac, I love your different style. It looks like it's rotating!

Oh I understand then.... Hard to work with colors you are not fond of. I have experienced the same. ;)

Love your DP looks very Lunar to me. Space the final frontier.. LOL :)

Very cool DP also love the spinning effect. :thumbup:

These blocks are awesome! Can't decide it I want the points or rounded. I did pull out a main fabric that I've been saving & only have a small amount of. I plan to use it for every other blade. Maybe I can start today

Dedemac, I didn't even notice it's "floating" :D I was so concentrating on getting a motif centered on the circle....

This is really pretty, I love the super swirl look of it!

This is neat, it looks like a spinning windmill. :thumbup:

Well I made a small mistake on my Template, but rather than toss it I tried to add more blades. It worked but now my block is too big. It turned out to be a 16 in block rather than the 12. So I think I might use this as either a Pillow sham or a pillow. I think it turned out pretty good, but I will make another one correctly tomorrow.

I will just have to use different fabric, I really did like the background fabric but I only have enough left to make a matching Pillow, so I will have to use something else.

thimblebug, love your floating spirograph planet, wow.
dedemac, wow yours is moving! nice color arrangement!
can hardly wait to see the others, but gotta get cracking on 3 swaps that need rotary cutting. Will check in later in the week. Have a great one, ya'll.
Hugs,
DJ

oh, mary love your black & whites!

I like all the different blocks you all are doing a great job. Mine is finished but for some reason my computer is not letting me upload pictures to this site or others. So until I figure it out I can only look at yours.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]417070[/ATTACH]Oh man it worked this morning, here mine is. I'm almost jumping up & down with joy.

Sometimes they just do 4 blades of the same color and the center. That would save you some fabric for another square.

Marytoddliz- I have ran into the same problem of ending up with a larger DP then intended and thus have gifted several nice pillows to family and friends. :thumbup:

MamaHen - Your DP is fantastic.:thumbup: Im curious as to how your point tips are a different fabric. Is that a result of the print of the fabric... like in the Paisley DP I shared??? :confused:

Scrappy DP's are one of my favorites. My DP made from the scraps of the other BOM's we have done this far sits nicely along all the other finished blocks. I really am enjoying the 2013 BOM. :)

I extended the template one inch, then made a second template out of that-cut fabric and then sewed them onto the original blade, then folded & sewed across like you showed. I made sure to include the 1/4" seam allowance in each of the template pieces where they came together.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]417151[/ATTACH] Jenniky- Here is a close up of the blades. I only stitched in the ditch across those points when I appliqued the DP to my background fabric.

Marybethiz I really like your background too, it will make a great modern looking pillow or sham.

MamaHen yours is gorgeous! I love how much character the added points give it. The colors are wonderful together.

I hope to have mine done tomorrow, I think I'll end up with an oversize block too so may do the whole thing over.

I just finished mine. Each blade of my Dresden Plate is made with Iris print fabric's & I love how it turned out!! Everyone's blocks so far this month are amazing. Enjoy ladies!!
:D :D :D :D

Love how you did your background...all of them together look fab!

Sulabug that is going to be one very happy quilt. You DP is just amazing.

Sulabug- WOW... love you DP I concur with all the above posted comments. I have to say though I especially love your DP. The Iris fabric has a definite WOW factor in my book. It kinda of gives it a stained glass effect I think. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
