one of these is on my list of "to do someday"....but I probably won't attempt one this big! Beautiful job! Love the colors!

You quilt is looking mighty gorgeous! B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!!!

Might I ask, how long have you been working on this? Dresden plate is on my "to do someday" list also. How long do I need to set aside? Ha!

Lots of work but it well worth it. Keep up posted on your progress.

1 day to cut all the pieces total of 28 differnt frabrics. Then made 20 stack of 16 pieces so no 2 blocks are alike, half a day. Next day and a half sew all the plates together. next 2 days sew them on the blocks and putting together.

I just purchased Eleanor Burns pattern for this quilt. I want to make one by June for my daughter. She told me I had made everyone quilts (friends, grand kids & other family members) but not her. I just finished a top for Turning 20 for her & want to do this one as a special. Hope it turns out as good a yours!

Beautiful quilt .. You did a very good job.. I want to ask if you used a temple..such as the freezer paper....or how did you keep the shape so perfect. And after the prints are together you applicaided the plate to the square??? :oops: hey this is so I can learn, I would love to make a quilt top like this one.. Right now I am working on a double wedding ring quilt.. and would love to make it also.
thank You

I made a plastic templet and rotery cut them from 2 1/2 strips. I stacked 3 42" stips folded in half and started cutting.

They're 16 petals to each plate. I found 28 differnt fabric strips or partial strips in my stash. This way no 2 plates are alike. I sewed each plate together then centered them in the block and satin stich all the way around I used a glass to make the center circle.
