Fancy Dishes update

Decided to do a sample block! Happy to say I now feel confident to go for the full quilt!
Even satisfied with my stab-stitch hand quilting! Whoopee!

Thanks to DebraK for the encouragement and to the wonderful member who found enough of the black floral for me to continue!

Your block is very pretty. Please post the quilt when you are done. I have all the fabric for that quilt, just waiting to finish my other projects, so I can start on mine. I had a hard time, also, trying to find a black that would go with my 30's fabrics.

Love it! Looks like something I would like to do. I love 20s and 30s fabrics!

That block is so very pretty! I stab-quilt also and it may be a lot slower than others, but it still gets the job done! LOL!

This is so pretty! Love the black accent. Looks like you could put it into a window of a place of worship.

DogHouseMom 08-25-2013 01:23 PM

Very pretty!! That's my favorite Dresden "look" with the spiked blade at 12/3/6/9. Love the fabrics too.

Sandra in Minnesota 08-25-2013 01:43 PM

Love your block - it is quite different from my Dresden plate - and yours is much more interesting!

Mariposa 08-25-2013 01:44 PM

What does 'stab/s' mean? Beautiful design, btw. Is 'Fancy Dishes' the name of it?

RedGarnet222 08-25-2013 03:01 PM

I love how the black breaks up the colors in your block. I hope you post a finished product when you get done.

nanacc 08-25-2013 03:23 PM

alikat110 08-25-2013 07:40 PM

Nicely done!

Evie 08-25-2013 08:37 PM

Very nice, Kitsie. I love the block. I stab also, but just on small projects. :o

Kitsie 08-25-2013 10:50 PM

Stab stitching is a way of hand quilting. I can't master getting multiple stitches on the needle, then pulling the needle through. So I just poke the needle vertically down through the quilt and poke it up through again! One stitch at a time but works or me!

Looks great.

judi wess 08-26-2013 03:34 AM

I really like the block and the quilting design. Am making a quilt using a fan design too, yours gave me the courage to forge on. Thanks for sharing.

mandyrose 08-26-2013 03:59 AM

I like your block what is stab stitch?

twinkie 08-26-2013 04:04 AM

Beautiful. Is this your own design or is there a pattern for it? Love it.

Retired Fire Chief 08-26-2013 04:09 AM

Gorgeous, love, love, love it. Since this is binder are you doing a quilt as you go? And is the pattern called fancy dishes?

DianneK 08-26-2013 04:20 AM

Looks like you are ready for the 'big one'...very nice

gabeway 08-26-2013 04:21 AM

It will be a gorgeous quilt!

matraina 08-26-2013 05:38 AM

It is beautiful!!! You'll have to show us pictures of the finished product. By the way, your quilting looks great.

annievee 08-26-2013 05:40 AM

Just great-love the fabrics !

Caroline S 08-26-2013 05:58 AM

I love the old fashioned look. It is a great look for a scrappy and the use of the black is striking. It will be a gorgeous full sized quilt.

oklady 08-26-2013 06:57 AM

what a nice variation love the fabrics and would also love to see the finished project!

sue z q 08-26-2013 07:05 AM

Very pretty block. Is that center hard to do? Looks like it would be.
