Default Dresden Plates

So I finally broke down and tried out my Dresden Plate ruler that I've had for about a year. Two days and one incredibly sore middle finger later, I've got the beginnings of a wallhanging that I think I like but I'm not really sure...I liked it a whole lot better before I put the sashing in there. Oh Well!

love the green, they show up so well. the sashings will just make the whole block float more. if you don't like the sashings, now is the time to decide.

Looks good. Would a dark sashing give it the pizzazz you're looking for? You have a lot of lights in your plate.

It looks very fresh and spring like. Your plates are lovely! I hope your finger isn't sore from an accident. Rotary cutters are sharp!

Think it looks lovely. I'm thinking maybe darker sashing might be what you're looking for.

Your plates are very pretty...looks like some of those yummy Bunny Hill fabrics.

"I liked it a whole lot better before I put the sashing in there." Me too.
