I think completing a block every now and then will be a real motivator. Keep us posted here...remember we love pictures |
This is my favorite block also, and it is beautiful. Your neice will love it!

I have always loved this pattern! And the colors are beautiful. I wanted to make one of these for my son's wedding, but he doesn't like the design, so I'm going for the Venetian Dream quilt, which I cannot find a pattern for!!! ARGH!!

A steady drop will make a hole in a rock. One block at a time and am I glad it is you and not me. 8-) Like your colors, let us see the finished quilt next year.
|
I forgot. Your avatar is soooo cute.
|
This is one of my favorite blocks. I just keep looking at. Guess I had better get started!!!!! Beautiful
|
Oh how lovely, can't wait to see the finished quilt.
|
OMG....GOOD LUCK....but it will be gorgeous..Dresden Plate is one of my favorite patterns!!
|
Good luck just remember how pretty it will be when your done.
|
Very pretty block, quilt will be beautiful. Be sure and show pics when it is done. I only do machine piecing and quilting. I have more fabrics than I can possibly sew. I just finished my 3 rd quilt since June 2nd.
|
It's going to be a fabulous wedding gift, they're gonna love their beautiful quilt that you will finish one piece at a time. You go, girl!
|
Love the rich jewel tone colors. Lucky niece!
|
Can I be your niece too??
|
That is beautiful.
|
Your neice is one lucky lady. I like this block.
|
very nice, you're going to be so busy finishing the rest of it.
|
Beautiful block and the colours are lovely....keep us updated and going by the effort you put in with the cutting I'm sure you have the patience and perseverance to get it done on target.
|
What a wonderful gift! Your niece is a very lucky girl!
|
very nice. I'm sure you will get it done on time. Just don't do anything else but the quilt. :lol:
|
Beautiful! What a wonderful gift!
|
Please remember to show the final product as well!
|
Get off the computer and start sewing girl. You have a job ahead for you. She will treasure it for sure.

I'm thinking if it were me, I'd be telling myself,"of course, I could make every other a 12" block and then do a block of 4 6"ers then a 12" and alternate." LOL Not that I'm a defeatist, but just the stress of thinking about that many pieces in that few months would set off a fibro flare for me. Or I'd be thinking how it would make a nice quilt for their first anniversary. LOL.
I do love your block. The colors are wonderful! Good luck and good speed with your project. May it bring you joy! |
Oh my is that a nice block. I am on a similar schedule as you except for my oldest son who is getting married Feb. 2011. I put my blocks on steroids though(12 inches finnished) and not Dresden Plate. I am also adding some setting blocks, sashing and a liberal border. It will be enough for me to get that Cal King done by then. Only 36 blocks to go but then they must obviously be much bigger then yours. Besure to post when you are done. It will be a very pretty quilt!
|
Wowzer, that is going to be a pretty thing.
|
JUST LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT !!
|
That is going to be beautiful when its done. God bless.
|
THAT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL! MY GUESS IS---YOU LOVE THIS NIECE A-L-O-T!!!!
