From the start of the Dresden Plate start on July 16 I was able to complete the lap quilt with the final hand stitching still to do when I have a little free time. DH really likes the colors. I'd like to do another quilt (maybe a larger one for a double bed) with different colors. I just ordered labels with my name on them from a site online so I can stitch the label onto the back of my quilts in a bottom corner for people can see who made these treasures.

I pulled the border colors out of the dresden plate

It was hard to decide on the backing but I decided to use the color I used for the centers of the Dresden

Beautiful...purple is one of my favourite colours.

Purple - my favorite color and the wallhanging is wonderful. I can't bear to put $10/yd. fabric on the back of wallhangings. I use Moda Muslin. I'm cheap I guess.

The purples are so pretty. I love Dresden Plates.

luana 07-19-2011 03:51 AM

Fantastic! So, I am now inspired. Could you tell me how you quilted it? I do most of my own FMQ, and I hate to get a quilt top done and then be stuck on the quilting. thanks

Very pretty. Can you tell me what size Dresden Plate did you use and what size did your square end up being? What site did you purchase your labels from? Thank you so much for your help with this, I'm wanting to do a Dresden, but not sure of what size blade. Thank you again. Your color choice is beautiful.
