Big block Dresden Plate - opinions
#44
Looks beautiful to me. You might try using the wrong side of your background fabrics, that would give you a lighter look.
I am trying to use up scraps and only use yardage from my stash. I am doing a dresden plate with big blocks, 24". My mom has cross stitched little pics for me and I am using them in the centers. For backgrounds I am using tans and creams from stash, centers are going to be various other colors from stash. Here is the first block. I think I am going to QAYG and use red or yellow for the sashing so I can make it pretty big. My frame will only hold up to a double. I just can't decide if I like it or not. Would rather have lighter backgrounds but I would have to buy the fabric and and I'm trying not to do that. Any suggestions?

The block is beautiful & i love the fact that you put the little pictures in there ~ so cute. I agree with the others ~ look at it for a bit ~ go away & come back later & look at it some more & see if you still like it. I like your tan colors, & i am usually more of a fan for white. Good luck!
