Thanks for the great ideas. It looks like 1/4" inside the wedge is a good way to go (oh, so many threads to bury...although I do see that one of the photos shows continues loops. That is very pretty.) I love the different designs in the center circles. And I think I can do almost anything on the 'outside' of the block.
Really enjoying the photos! Dresden plates are just my favorite. |

dunster - wow- that is GORGEOUS. I don't think mine will look like that though :) First, because I'm just not that good, second because it looks like it was appliqued onto wholecloth, and I have blocks.
I thought about alternating the Dresden blocks with a blank block (since I don't have enough plates for the full quilt), so I could do medallions in those. That would probably look neat. I do wonder if the quilting will get too dense for a bed though. Maybe it would be a good opportunity to brush up on my trapunto. AndiR - gorgeous quilting! |
Oh my!!! AndiR - those are gorgeous....And mine feels so inadequate.....sigh....

No, it's blocks. If you look carefully you can see the seam lines. But I posted that picture as an "OMIGOSH" - it's over the top, must have taken 1000 hours to do (well, almost). I wouldn't worry about the quilting being too dense.
AndiR - gorgeous quilting! |
Thank you to the ladies who shared their photos of dresden plate quilts. Such lovely examples.

I was completely enchanted by this one at a MQX West last year.

Some gorgeous quilts put on here. Wonderful quilting. I hope to make one someday and I would applique the Dresdens on by hand.
