    Love your dresden blocks but not the pink floral sashing. Try adding some more colors including the pink sashing to your plates and then choose a color compatible to all of it. I made two of these quilts, one in many purples and the other using a ton of various colored fabrics and wound up buying a good quality muslin put both of them together. Was very happy with the results. I do not care for muslin but this really tied it up. Took my plates with me when I went to purchase the sashing and made it easier.

    This looks lovely. I am in the process of making my first all blue dresden plates. Hope mine turn out just as nicely as yours

    Love the dresden, your plate is beautiful. Maybe a differnt sash would make it pop a little better, but looks good to me. Thanks for sharing.

    Your dresden plate is beautiful. Try auditioning a darker color for the sashing and see if it gives you what you are looking for. I think it will make your block pop
