Just went and bought a black backing for my Dresden Plate, I have never doen one before. WOW ! I hope mine turns out 1/2 as beautiful as this ! Just fantastic. Do you think the black will be OK ? I'm trying to be a good girl and deplete some of my stash of fabric,was size did you use for your pieces ?

Do you mean black to applique your plate on (or backing of the whole quilt)?? I think black with vibrant colors on the front would be awesome!!! What a great idea!!! I may try that, too!!! And "Oh, peshaw", your quilt will be AWESOME!

As for size -- I cut 3 1/2" strips -- and used the plastic Easy Dresden template.

Now - you have my creative juices going again!!! Hmmmmmmmmm

It's just beautiful! I love the green border - it just pulls all the colors together.

Yes, I got one -- but it didn't work!!! LOL They work when you're seams are smooth -- but the 9 patches are bulky in places (my bad) and man -- it was hard. They also take PRACTICE!!!! Another of my faults ---:oops:

amandasgramma 12-03-2010 07:10 PM

Thank you EVERYONE!!! I'm overwhelmed!!!!! I'm glad you like it as much as I do!!!
