Dresden plate has been an interest
of mine, but I am in constant search of things that can be made completely by machine.
I started planning and making the Dresden blocks at the end of 2012. I can say
that this quilt took 5 years to make.. 😻
Fabrics selections.
It's shaping up
I'd machine appliquéd the dresdens to
the background fabric, then proceeded with the block with the QAYG method which
made more sense to me, because of the size of the blocks. I liked how that
turned out, but at this point, I put them away (for a few years).
Once we had moved homes, settled
into our new home, and I'd 'unpacked' my sewing room, I found the dresdens and
continued. A labour intense quilt would be a good description. After all the
time, and all the work, I couldn't bring myself to give it away (to anyone).
Then it was pointed out to me, that we don't have a quilt for our own bed. isn't that the way it works?? Aha!!

The size wasn't quite big enough for our bed, so I added the grey border & the black corner blocks, which was easy enough to do, continuing with the QAYG method. It worked perfect, and really liked how it ended up looking.
