Hi and welcome from Southern California where we have the same heat wave. I make mostly art quilts but have been captivated by Dresden Plates for a long time. There's a new book out, called "Distinctive Dresdens" that has inspired me to make a Dresden Plate art quilt. It's exciting to work on something new and creative. And YouTube is wonderful, as is our GB!

Welcome to the QB from SE Michigan. I am so glad you are joining us and are ready to jump right in. Currently I am working on a Drunkard's Path. It is Queen Size and all I have to finish is the binding. I have been working on it about 2 months now and am excited I am close to the finish. Of course I can never be working on a single project I have to have 2 maybe 3 things going at one time so I also am working on a table runner using the Bears Paw block I will be doing this as a Quilt As You Go project. I usually have my hands in a quilt or fabrics or some other crafty thing. Right now it is quilting that rules! Again welcome to the QB Jump right in and join the fun!

Hello and welcome!
I have been looking at small projects that are quick and easy. I've already gone through the scrap bins and used pieces for masks.
It's time to start Christmas projects so it's always helpful to see more inspiration. Looking forward to your ideas!

Welcome from South Louisiana. This time of year is a great time to be inside because of the heat outside. Lots of great quilters here and I am always learning something new, which is good because I tend not to follow patterns completely. I like the term "Artistic License".

I’ve seen the Dresden Plates but never attempted to make one. I’ll definitely check out the book you mentioned. I actually learned to quilt mainly from books. Thanks for sharing and stay cool!
