Thread: Dresden Plate Top

heres my dresden top its 212 block all 6-1/2sq. Measures 110 x 110
Hope you like it

wow, that is really pretty, lots of work went into that, more patience than I have

A true classic! How are you going to quit it? I'd want to cables or feathers on the white border.

Most likely will do cable in the blank spot. Think I will outline plates, and put a little something in the blank pieces in between

That's really gorgeous. I love Dresden Plate quilts. Yours is exceptional!

It is so pretty!

That is spectacular!! Just lovely!!! How long did it take you to do?

Your name screen name says it all. You do love to quilt. That's beautiful. How many years did you work on that one?

Wow, that is just gorgeous!

WOW!!! Very pretty & lots of work!!! You did a great job! :D

I'm so impressed! You have the patience of a saint! This is just gorgeous!

Thanks Everyone, It really diddnt take that long. I quess about 4-5 months so far. I'm sure the quilting will take 6-8months.

truly amazing! did you hand sew all the plates?

It is beautiful... I love your layout....

Beautiful, Lots of hard work. I know a labor of love. I love Dresdens too. I'm in the process of making one. Not nearly as big as yours. How did you attache your plates? And my plates are larger.

That is an awesome quilt!! those look rather tiny!! how long did it take you to make this??? was it done by hand?

oops.. just read the sizing of 6 in square blocks.. wow!!! patience!!!

A dresden plate quilt is a great way to use up all those little pieces that you HATE to part with!!! I have a TON of those!!

I have decided Friday night I am going to re-organize some of my sewing stuff, my stash (that has been pulled and pulled and is about to meet me in a heap the next time I open the cabinet doors), my quilt class files, patterns, scraps, etc. Its in desperate need of tidying now!!! I also feel after reading and admiring such talented people here and their work, I have to add some new projects to my already growing list!!! So my project book is in need of some serious updating!!

take you to make all of those?

Can't wait to see it when it's quilted.

Thats really beautiful! I'm in the process of making a dresden plate quilt myself but my blocks are 12inch blocks...yours look quite small ones! You must have the patience of a Saint!! I just hope mine looks as good when its finished! lol :wink:

Your quilt is awesome! You must have a great deal of patience. Can't wait to see it with the quilting! Nice job.

Awesome quilt Patience of a Saint and Job too!!Can't imagine doing DP in 6 inch blocks but then I never imagined actually doing a whole quilt!! Looking forward to seeing it quilted and I guess it will be hand quilted.

All you hand quilters blow me away!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Dresden Plates and yours is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
