Dresden Plate

I adore the colours and design of this quilt made by Vicki as a birthday present for her mother in law.



Although I quilted it several weeks ago,  I held off posting pictures until after the birthday party.  You can see Vicki's post about making the quilt here.


This was a pleasure to quilt.  As Vicki didn’t want heavy quilting, I ditch stitched the centre and outer edge of the Dresden Plate as well as the blocks.  I quilted a feather on each Dresden Plate, continuous curved the cream blocks in the sashing, and quilted a feather in the border.


I love how the quilting shows on the back.



Pop over to Esther's Blog to see what other people are working on with her WIP Wednesdays.

  2. Beautiful! I love the sashing. So original. Vicki must have a much nicer mother in law than I do. Mine has disliked me from the day I married he son. Prior to that she liked me! Go figure!!
