THis is my latest endeavor. got the dreden plates at an antique shop. The muslin was in bad shape so appliqued them to a new background and went from there.....and voila'. I know it doesn't show but the sashing is actually a small yellow check.

I love it. If your still not sure you can send it to me. I have a spare bed room that it would match perfectly. You did a great job. Thanks for sharing.

You are so quick! I have a pile of rescued plates in rough shape that will someday be a quilt. Is it just the top or did you f***** it already? It looks great.
|
It is just the top at present. Am trying to get all my tops together before i go "all the way" :D
|
Those dresden plates were a lucky find for you Sandra. I love how you put it all together. Very soft and peaceful despite all that radiant color. It's really charming! I'm quite sure I could provide a loving home for it....:lol:
|
This is beautiful! Excellent Job!
|
Wow, I love it! What a great idea!!
|
That looks gorgeous.
Did you do the stitching around the dresden plates as you appliqued them onto your fabric, or were they already like that when you lucked into them? |
Lucking onto them is right! the stitiching is original to the Dresden...so it was quite a trick appliqueing them on and making sure I kept those stitches present....but as I love to do the handwork...it was ok. Thank you all for your compliments...though I really must say the main work is by the unknown :? who began the project.. :D . I hope they would like my layout.
|
Sandra you've done a great job of rescuing the plates. Applique sure is a hoot :D
And I'm sure they'd appreciate your layout and that somebody is finally putting to good use the work they have done. |
