This gorgeous quilt was made by Blanche. We wanted the Dresden Plates to pop, so I ditch stitched them, and I also ditch stitched the sashing. I like the feather around the plates giving the background a lovely texture.
The back is lovely and shows the quilting really nicely.
Desley that is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely quilt. Your quilting is beautiful. I was interested to read that you only quilt from the front of your machine, I do too. I've tried pantographs but I just don't enjoy quilting from the back, if you don't mind me asking , why do you only quilt freehand? I live in Bathurst NSW and have only a couple of customers so far, I haven't pushed too hard to get more, I'm happy just taking it slowly.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery nice job! The quilting fits perfect with the quilt...she is going to love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, and quilting Desley.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Delsey! I love hoe you used feathers as the background around all the dresdens! Beautiful feather work!! Happy Easter!
ReplyDeletebeautiful - I always love seeing quilts from the back where you can really see the artistry of the quilting.
ReplyDeleteDresden's are so classic! It is on my "make someday" list - maybe with all the dresses of my daughter's that I have been saving (probably to be done when she graduates high school or gets married!).
