gift from a past co-worker
 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]472165[/ATTACH] Just in case I run out of quilts to make, a past co-worker and good friend brought me a gift today. She had been to an estate sale and found 37 Dresdan plate blocks as appliqued and ready to be joined into a top and quilted. the blocks are 17" square and made of 1930 type prints. Cant wait il i have a few other projects out of my hair so i can see what these beauties will loom like when quilt is finished.

very pretty I am not quilting long but I find I'm drawn to 1930's fabric

That was a wonderful thing for your friend to do. I will interested to see how it looks as well.

Wow, those blocks are so neat. Have fun with your project.

beautiful!!!

what a treasure

That's so nice of someone to think of you. You'll have to show us what you do!

Very thoughtful friend finding these treasures and giving them to you. Beautiful block and look forward to seeing it when it is done!

Lucky you....to have such a good friend...and such a great start on a 30s Dresden quilt !!

How nice is that! Can't wait to see it when you get it done!.

That is going to be a beautiful quilt!!

What a wonderful gift!!!

How wonderful! That's quite a friend! I can't wait to see it all put together>

Oh, my, what a nice gift. That will be a fun project!

That is gonna be beautiful.

That's a great friend.

Kool. Nice to have a friend that will do something like this for you. I also am waiting to see what you do with them. BrendaK

That is an amazing gift.

How awesome pics when finished please.

What a great friend!! I would love that gift. Can you imagine putting together all those Dresden plates and having them end up in an estate sale!!! I better finish all the projects I gave going so they don't end up at a sale. Hope you show us the finished quilt soon!!

Should be very nice. What a great gift.

Very nice and very pretty ! Thanks for sharing

What a wonderful gift, can't wait to see how you finish the quilt. I make quilts for our family reunions every 2 years and one year I made a Dresden Plate in beautiful blue fabrics sent to me by my family. My pickiest brother, who also happened to win the quilt told me it was my best quilt ever and it would be hard to top it. I'm thinking of making one for my DS and DD IL for their king size quilt, but need to find out if I have the colors right for the bedroom they just repainted.

Beautiful blocks, a photo when it is finished, please.

Can't wait to see it all together

Love the fabric.

That's so nice, that someone thought of you, let us see when you finush it . x

I was very new to quilting when I saw a basket of hand-quilted Dresden plates. I was too intimidated to buy them at the time, and now I could kick myself. I have pictured a sweet little farm lady who just hadn't had the time to make them into a quilt before she passed on. (I make up stories like that regularly) :-).

What a beauty you'll have when they're stitched together. Enjoy!

What a good friend! This will make a lovely quilt.

What a thoughtful friend. Be sure to show it to us when you finish it. Thanks for sharing you beautiful gift.

What a wonderful friend! I know it will be a beautiful quilt!

By any chance was your friend named "BEV" because while I was in Fl one lady bought a bunch of these also.

What a sweetie! I don't have any great friends like that. Lucky you!

I love feedsack fabric. You've got a real treasure there. So nice of your friend to think of you.

You made me laugh ... "Just in case I run out of quilts to make..." Love it! What a nice friend you have! You'll have to post pictures of your finished projects.
