Checkered dresden top done
 

The piano key boarder was very difficult and I could not get the 2inch pieces to come out right on the ends with the corner square. I will have a long armer quilt it because it is 8 ft square.[ATTACH=CONFIG]603459[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]603460[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]603461[/ATTACH]

Nothing wrong with the squares on the corners. I love the quilt. It is beautiful.

WOW! That is gorgeous. I bought the template from MSQC and have never used it-now you have inspired me. Beautiful fabrics. Did you buy the fabrics by the matching colors or put the colors together yourself? Either way-all of the fabrics are complimentary to each other. Beautiful.

I put the colors together other than the Dresdens were a Jelly Roll called Pansies. And the piano key board was another jelly roll. The white and other boarders I picked out. Thanks for compliments.

nicely done

It's gorgeous. Can't wait to see it when it comes back from the quilter for the grand finale.

Beautiful, love the colors.

This is absolutely gorgeous. So full of vibrant colors. Well done...and I like the corners. Looks great.

It looks great to me. Those colors are really pretty together.

I love it! Purple is one of my favorite colors and I also bought the ruler. How did you attach the plate to the block, hand sewing or machine sewing?

I think your piano key border turned out very well. Your use of the corner blocks made everything work together.

Beautiful quilt top Suz...you did a wonderful job making the border work. Lovely colors and I hope you’ll post another pic after it has been quilted.

Beautiful quilt. I really like your colors and large dresdens. I think your corner choice with the piano key border worked our just fine-it is hard to know how to handle the corners. Enjoy it, it's a beauty.

It's lovely!

wow fantastic so pretty

Congrats on a finish! The colors are a favorite and the pattern on my wish list for someday. How exciting to be ready for the quilting decisions.

Absolutely gorgeous !! I want to do a piano key border soon!! Hope mine looks that Good! Show us finished project please!!

All I can say is WOW! Really beautiful.

Beautiful, love it. I use piano key borders a lot and if they don't come out perfect at the corners, I just take in or let out a few of the piano key border pieces until they are the perfect fit. It's not even noticeable.

Beautiful!! Love your colors, dragonfly fabric and design.

You did an awesome job! This one is on my bucket list!

That’s a beautiful top and your border is lovely!

Beautiful quilt and love the fabrics/colors.

Stunning quilt my favorite color.

Beautiful quilt.

Those Dresden plates are gorgeous! Send pictures when it's quilted, please...

Well you certainly solved the corner problem and very cleverly I might add. Love the quilt. The colors are beautiful.

It's lovely, Suzanne. I can see where it would be difficult to ensure the piano key borders were the exact same length. But no one would be able to tell if they were a little bit off. Great job!
