LOL!! Great save! Some things are meant to be.

That is great. No one will ever know.............but us and we aren't telling. Husbands get in on lots of shrieks, I would imagine.

Beautiful
But remember the saying...Creativity is the mother of our quilting errors...

The Dresden Plate is my favorite design and one would never have guessed your entire quilt was not planned! it's gorgeous!!

MaryAnnMc 07-13-2012 04:02 AM

This is one of those cases where the "fix" turns out to be better than the original! It looks terrific, and I'm glad it turned out so well for you. There is no way anyone would guess this wasn't how it was intended to be.

That is a beauty...You can mess up me one anytime you'd like...lol

Wow what a very pretty quilt.

joyce888 07-13-2012 05:12 AM

There are no mistakes, just design changes. Great save!

We sometimes grow the most fixing our mistakes. It is beautiful and is an idea for using any medallion center design.

It's so beautiful that I'm sure it has to look better than the original plan!! It a blue ribbon winner!

Nancygeddes 07-13-2012 05:57 AM

That is beautiful. You have great vision for solving a problem!

linmid 07-13-2012 06:09 AM

You are so right it looks perfect. Who would have thought the dresden plate and star would look so great together. Congratulations.

sew_itnow 07-13-2012 07:27 AM

That is perfect! I am sure that is the way it was ment to look, you just didn't know it in advance. lol
