me to...my question is if I get it long armed does it take away from the plates or do they not use a pattern on the plates.

It's beautiful...perfect colors for a vintage Dresden. I have a small one I'm ready to quilt but can't decide how to do it, so you gave me some good ideas. My FMQ isn't ready for prime time yet!

Aw, its just beautiful! I love the 30s stuff so much!

LOL - Anita, my FMQ isn't even ready for late night infomercials! I can do little things but I just can't get the hang of moving a big quilt smoothly. I just told myself if it were the 1930's no one would've been doing FMQ on this quilt, so I kept it simple. Not so simple as to hand quilt it though. I'm too lazy for that!

Absolutely beautiful! NEVER apologize for simple quilting - there is so much "junky" (excessive) quilting that shows off the long arm quilter's skills at the expense of the quilt and actually DETRACTS from the quilt itself. Simple is beautiful, especially with the "older" block patterns.

I TOTALLY agree. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I think its great. Love that old time look.

Very beautiful quilt! You did a great job quilting it!

beautiful work, very pretty, makes me want to curl up with it

Love your Dresden and the quilting looks perfect for the quilt. Great job.
