I am working on a Dresden Plate at present, however it doesn't look nearly as good as yours. Great job.

Thank you all for the nice comments.

I'm thinking I'll do the piano key border, but I don't have any scraps left over. The quilt is made from 5 inch squares bought from E-bay and our own McQuilter. I wanted as many different fabrics as I could get and that seemed the best way to do it. I'm sure I'll be able to come up with more fabric to make the border.

I do like the idea of a scalloped border, but I'm not sure my nerve could take it. I've never done that before. I need to look at some instructions and see if I could handle it.

A piano key border in the scrappy fabric would be cute to finish it off!

Connecting threads. Has a great assortment of 30's themed fabric at a good price you can get charm packs fat quarter bundles or fat eighths.
