Here is the Dresden Plate variation I was playing with. I don't have fabrics with repeats so I decided to make my own. I sewed 1.25" strips of different colors to the top and bottom of a 3.5" strip to make a 5" wedge. I sewed the top of the wedge, right sides together and turned it inside out to make the point. I sewed 5 of these together, alternating the colored points and appliqued to a 7.5" white square, turning the curved bottom edge under. As you can see you can have a lot of fun with this design - it can be scrappy, you can use Stack N Whack, you can create your own repeats as I did - lots of possibilities. This may be a WH, but I may turn it into a quilt - depends on how ambitious I get.

Both DPs are very cool, one traditional and the fabrics are great along with the pink & blk. This pattern when using a fan or drunkards path block, as I know it, is called Bunting. I really like it, J.
The 2nd has a very modern and fun look. Totally different from a typical DP. I like this interpretation too. You rock, J. peace EDIT: My DH wants to know if the traditional one is going to be in the swap?:D peace |
Haha if by traditional you mean the pink and grey one I am not sure. I might turn it into a quilt. But since we have time and like Rhonda I have ideas brewing, I might ditch my mixed media one and do another DP variant. I really like how the pink/grey is coming out. Plus I will get to do some neat FMQ in it.

I finally figured out what I'm going to do for my wallhanging. It has something to do with gardening.
|
I just signed up for this and I must say I love all the quilts so far, they are so pretty! I'm going to get started so I can post a picture of progress.
