Your husband is quite right! You can't sit on that beauty!

I showed it to my husband and he said no way are you putting that in a chair...you need to make more of them like this one- they need to be a quilt! LOL I used fabric scraps I bought for a dollar at the Ozark Folk Center in Mt. View...I guess a Dresden quilt has been added to my WIP's!! LOL The plate itself is about 14" in diameter and the finished block will be 16 inches.
