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.

    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!!

    The quilt is beautiful and I love how it turned out. I saw the photo of the quilt on PINTEREST and clicked over to your blog. I need to let you know that the original pattern was designed by me, Kimberly Walus, and you can find the pattern on Moda's Bake Shop listed under my name. The pattern is called "Plates for Your Table." The pattern is free but, It's still important to give credit to the original designer. Thank You!
