They are lovely----can't imagine how you got them all quilted! That is dedication. Whoever had them (before you) must have recognized their value as an art form or whatever as they are certainly in great condition!

Thanks everyone, I love them too. You never know what you will find at auctions, estate sales, yard sales.... Keep your eyes out girls. I gave no more than $20 each for the unfinished toppers. So I have next to nothing in these.
Someone mentioned hand quilting, I did these on the Grace Frame. So no hand quilting LOL I did all of these this past week. Frame quilting is fast and the only way to go! LOL
The dresden is my fav. I still have I think 5 more ???? I will have to count them later.
Getting them from estate sales can be a hidden treasure, other times you end up with a cutter, but even if they are cutters you can get some really nice pieces from them.
The dresden has one TINY spot in it but I wanted to quilt it so bad. I will figure something out for the tiny hole in it. I just couldnt cut it up. I also had never seen a dresden done the way it was.
The plates were each on a white muslin square. In the middle of the square they cut out a circle and then appliqued the plate to the square. It is hard to explain, wished I had taken a picture of that before I quilted it, it was way different than anything I had ever seen.
