Thank you all for the information. With all of your suggestions in mind, I've decided to hand applique the Dresden Plates to the background fabric. I sure don't want to take a chance on the invisible thread breaking after a few years of use, and I'm not happy with the look of machine stitched applique on this quilt.

I made this one and hand-appliqued with matching embroidery floss with a blanket stitch. I love the old-fashioned look of that with the old-fashioned look of the dresden! I also hand-quilted it.

I have to find the pic now! Can's remember where I put it!

I have my dresen 16 blocks still in progress. I was waiting on my square ruler to square them up before sashing. I love this quilt. I am going very careful to get this on almost perfect. i used a small zigzag around each plate. I still have the middles to do.
