Tuesday, May 27, 2014 "Vintage Dresden Dishes"

Sometimes unfinished projects are just the thing!  When we received a wedding announcement from a very special friend of ours, I knew just the quilt to complete for her gift.  The fact that I was going to be on vacation and actually be in town to attend her wedding in Idaho really added to the excitement!

Everything was ready to put this quilt together.  The top was completed, backing already purchased, and batting in the closet.  I was able to piece the backing, pin the quilt, and begin the quilting on one day.  It took an other full day of quilting (about 10 hours) plus a short morning to complete the quilt.  

This quilt is the third one I have made from this pattern.  I just love the dresden plates and the pieced blocks in between.  Lots of quilting really makes them stand out.  I am in the process of gathering fabric to make yet another one!





The pattern is found in the Oct./Nov. 2009 issue.
