That is so gorgeous. I love Dresden plate quilts. Love that edging with the blades. Really a true gem.

You have every right to be proud of such a wonderful treasure! Your quilt is a masterpiece, and to think that love went into every stitch! I LOVE this kind of quilt! The colors, simplicity and craftmanship are the type of thing that first drew me toward learning to quilt. I lean toward traditional quilts. This should go on the cover of a magazine!!!

Beautiful!! I am sure you do cherish it! Gentle reminder: please refold a couple of times a year so that you don't get permanent creases. That would be awful for you.

take care.

That is such a lovely version--the beautiful border and how closely she arranged the lovely DP blocks.
