Ok, what do you think?
I cheated and used the template that Rhonda sent to get the pieces cut right. I know, I should have done the kaleidescope, but a bit scared to try that at the moment.
Instead, I decided to try this.
The corners are a bit wonky....Courtney ironed them on for me while I was on the phone. She did good for her first try, yes?

Very pretty Terri! Guess you decided to do your own blue and white quilt! LOL
Is Courtney getting interested in quilting or just ironing?

No, it's not going to be my blue and white, but I've thought of it.

Glad you are back Deb! MISSED YOU!!!!

Thanks all....and it was really pretty easy! I just used the template that Rhonda sent...THANKS RHONDA! and it came together really fast!
It's actually almost done....I'll post when it's ALL done!

wait to see more pic's!! :D
Sulabug,

Beautiful Terri - looks like a Dutch delft plate!

gaigai 06-24-2009 11:50 PM

Oooooh, Terri, I really love that. Those blues are luscious! That would look perfect on my bed when it's done! LOL

And I think I would designate Courtney "Chief Presser". She did a great job!

PrettyKitty 06-25-2009 01:44 AM

Ooooh Terri I love it! I love blue and white together, and the butterfly in the middle - such a sweet touch! I see no wonkiness either!

Ohhhh pweeety!!! I love the blue & white, it does look like a plate! I like the corner treatment and no, it doesn't look wonky to me at all...must be the good job that Courtney did :D

quiltluvr 06-25-2009 04:14 AM

Crisp blue and white, classic color combination. Can't wait to see more. I really like your block a lot! :-)

Mrs. Mel 06-25-2009 04:32 AM

Teri, this turned out great! I love the combo of blues you put together. Would make a great lap quilt. Is that the plan?

pittsburgpam 06-25-2009 04:56 AM

That is great! I too love the blue and white, a timeless combination.

Esqmommy 06-25-2009 05:05 AM

Beautiful. I love the butterfly...

Mousie 06-25-2009 05:11 AM

Chele 06-25-2009 05:12 AM

I think you have a winner. Love blue and white and especially love Dresden Plates! Great job, Terri. Make more!

Connie1948 06-25-2009 06:17 AM

My DH is Dutch and this reminds me of things you see in his parents' home. Great Job!

I love the way it turned out! I love the Dresden Plates. It was one of the first appliques I learned when I started to quilt 30 years ago. I have always liked the way they turn out and they are pretty easy to do!

You did a fantastic job on the choice of colors and the placement! Love the ones in the corners.
Glad the template worked for you. I always worry that the template is off a little and will cause someone problems when the sections are sewn. It is so irritating if my sections ruffle and I have to go back and fix it!

Yours looks like it came out just right! Way to go!

The only differance for the Kaleidoscopes is you need to trace the features of the fabric onto the template and then mark the rest of the sections using the tracing to get them all the same. It isn't hard!! It goes together the same way! The fussy cutting may take a little more time but it is worth it!

Can't wait to see the next one(s)!!

Elsie 06-25-2009 06:50 AM

it look real good and so does the corner she did good

tlrnhi 06-25-2009 06:55 AM

Thanks everyone! Yes, Rhonda...it worked great!
Maybe I'll try the kaleidascope once I get all my stuff done that NEEDS doing!

Ok, posted finished one! :) :)

Bevanger 06-25-2009 08:55 AM

Hey I really like that. Great Job!

Lisa T 06-25-2009 08:56 AM

I love this!! The colors are so pretty!

Carol W 06-26-2009 05:55 PM

Just lovely.

Boston1954 06-26-2009 05:56 PM

Oh man! I wish I could do that. And BLUE too........... Good thing you don't live close. I would be stealing it.

jacquemoe 06-26-2009 06:01 PM

You did a grand job! Those would scare me. Love the colors and keep Courtney working :-)
