How creative to make a dresden plate with modern fabrics! It is jaw dropping gorgeous! And the quilting is beyond words.

Oh my gosh, your work and the quilting are off-the-charts wonderful. By any name, this beauty is, well, beautiful. Congrats to you both

This is the most beautiful, gorgeous, fantastic, wonderful and any other adjective you can think of. Simply breathtaking. Wonderful job to both of you.

Amazing work.. Both you and Maggie should be proud.. I can not wait to see it finished.. and if it shows up missing after I come see it,, you will know where it is.. I want to make a Dresden plate one of these days. but currently do not want to start any new projects.. I have done that too much lately.. lol

May do mine in 30's fabrics tho..

I'm laying in bed and looking at the board and just saw over a 130 comments. I'm speechless with all the kind words. I am going to submit it to AQS quilt show in Paducah and with a bit of luck they will accept it.

Rainbow Plated Beauty fits my thoughts on this beautiful quilt.

I quiet agree. with this name and it is by far one of the long list of most beautiful quilts I've seen in a while.

I still need to do the binding, put on a hanging sleeve, and make a label. Although, I do need to name the quilt. Any suggestions for the name?

Joyce, this is the second Dresden plate that I have done. The first one was with a tan background and I quilted it myself. I posted that one about a year and half ago.

lisalovesquilting 09-09-2012 02:42 AM

I would call it gorgeous.

alageeps 09-09-2012 05:41 AM

WOW WOW WOW awsome...

red-warrior 09-09-2012 04:50 PM

Excellent quilt!!! Looks like a blue ribbon winner to me.....will he let you borrow it!

chuckbere15 09-10-2012 12:33 AM

I would like to take this time, and my 1000 post, to thank everyone for their kind words and suggestions for a name for the quilt. I think I'm going to name it it "Spinning In The Wind" or "Dancing In The Wind.". Once the quilt is finished I'm going to submit an entry for Paducah, Columbus, and Grand Rapids quilt show for next year. Although, I'm not sure if time will allow for the three shows. Wish me luck. As for my brother allow me to borrow the quilt, well, I have to give it to home first.

Again, thank you for all the kind words.

Donnamarie 09-10-2012 04:58 AM

Absolutely beautiful. The colors are wonderful and the machine quilting is spectacular!
