I just started another quilt top today. I'm waiting until I redo my sewing room next week to finish the peacock one. I'll have more room to work on quilting it then.

Anyway, here's the next one in the works. They are just laying on the center fabric to see what it looks like. I'll put these on either a beige or white background.

These are made from my scraps.

Beautiful Dresden Plates! I'm really looking forward to seeing them all together...AND seeing your new sewing room too! :D

Sweet, I love classic patterns!

I love the yellow one. I have that same bee fabric. When I taught school I had a bee theme in my room. One of my favorite things I held on to is a duck dressed in a bee costume.

They are all so pretty and I'm looking forward to seeing more!

Beautiful dresden plates. Can't wait to see it finished.

imaquilter 06-09-2008 07:41 AM

Wow! Gorgeous...everyone of them. Did you do all of those in one day?

Riversong 06-09-2008 08:13 AM

I didnt do all mine in one day,,,it was a couple of weeks all told,as I didnt have all the fabric on hand when I started. But they do go pretty quickly.I made 12 dresdens for the swap,and 8 of the stars.

Diamonds 06-09-2008 08:36 AM

They are all beautiful.. I really like Dreden plates...

sewnsewer2 06-09-2008 10:40 AM

Thanks everyone. This is the easiest pattern I've ever done!

:lol: Kathy, they are laying on my ironing board. I like that fabric too!

I did mine all yesterday.

Riversong, yours are beautiful! I like the way you used one of the fabrics in it for the center. I'll have to see if I have enough to do that.

Riversong 06-09-2008 10:47 AM

They are really easy,,,shes right. And they look complicated. A little time consuming,but worth it, I think.

GMarie 06-09-2008 12:00 PM

Beautiful!

We have the same ironing board cover too... lol!

sewnsewer2 06-09-2008 03:59 PM

LOL, I got mine from Wal-Mart.

mgshaw 06-09-2008 04:06 PM

Beautiful!! Dresdan Plate is such an awesome pattern, Love both of you guys' interpretations :thumbup: :thumbup:

retrogirl02 06-09-2008 04:47 PM

Riversong & Sewnsewer,
BEAUTIFUL WORK!! Riversong, I don't think I'd be able to get that many done in a month.

I tried a rounded version and couldn't get mine to lay flat....I'll have to come back to it one of these days. I don't know about it being all that easy LOL...but I did see the pattern in my Egg Money quilt book today and thought I might give it another try.

sewnsewer2 06-09-2008 05:32 PM

retrogirl02, that's where this pattern I got came from. I saw it on (I think) HGTV's quilting show with Alex Anderson.

DA Mayer 06-09-2008 06:26 PM

Wow you guys know how to put colors together. I did some dresdan plates years ago, they were so fun to make.

k9colliedog 06-13-2008 06:26 AM

I love dresden plate and your colour schemes are quite breathtaking on that beautiful background

Feathers 06-13-2008 08:32 AM

SewenSewer: You've captured my attention...I bow to you! Dresden is my favorite block and I love scrap quilts so yours has everything that appeals to me. Can't wait to see it when you finish it. I have made 2 and I'm on my third. The quilter did smallish stippling around my plates that made them just POP! She actually "made" the quilt with the quilting. I just love mine. Thanks for sharing yours.

Feathers 06-13-2008 08:39 AM

Riversong...at risk of repeating all that I just wrote to SewnSewer, your scrap Dresden Plate is wonderful. I love your fabric choices and it looks like you do wonderful work. Thanks for sharing. Oh! Yes, I like the star blocks, also but the Dresden is my favorite.
