Hi from Ten Gables Cottage,
After 8 monthe of working on this Dresden Plate quilt at night while I watched an hour or two of T.V, I finally finished it and it will be sold in the Peace Lutheran Church bazaar tomorrow! What a job it is to make a whole queen size quilt by hand! I have new respect for my grandmother and mother who made many, many quilts in their life times. This a a pattern they never made, however. I wonder why. It is a very popular pattern and an old one.
I just spread it out on the bed so you could see it---didn't tuck it under the pillows or anything. I turned back a corner so you could see the label I made for it. I have enough Dresden Plate blocks to made another one, and will do so for my family, but must wait a bit and get "over this" first!!
All you quilters, give me some feedback!
Looks very impressive Egretta, even though I know little about this sort of thing. How will you be able to bear parting with it? The amount of effort you put into it reminds me of Jane's wedding dress - her Mum crocheted it by hand. It's a good job our engagement lasted about 18 months!
ReplyDeleteVery very beautiful quilt with so much time and effort going in. Hope it finds a good home. I think the colours in it are fab, very pretty.
