Hello all! Do you remember my in-the-car project from September? I showed my tricks on needle-turning the applique of these Dresden Plate blocks? This is the project where I challenged myself to only use fabric from my stash. Yes, that's right, no trips to the fabric store for this one! Crazy! That was quite a challenge.
Well, I finally finished all 13 of them and pieced the top. Once the blocks were done, the quilt top came together in a flash!
|
I chose to do an on-point setting as I had so many back-ground fabric choices. |
|
Apparently, if I add enough loud and busy prints, it evens things out! |
|
I've been saving the Reiley Blake outer border fabric for quite some time now. I think it pulled this whole red-white-black-gray quilt together. The red added the splash of red color needed. |
|
I had one leftover block--and it was the wrong size for the quilt. Maybe I'll make it into a pillow. |
Now....the quilt I'm choosing to feature from the link-ups last week is from
Tanya Quilts in CO. What a great project she made at her quilter's retreat! Maybe some day I'll have the fortune of attending a quilter's retreat--but not now with 4 kids and 2 horses on the way! :)
