I've started a new quilt! AGAIN! BUT, this time I finished a quilt before I began a new one so I feel okay about it. This is the start of my Civil War Fabrics Quilt. I am SLOWLY collecting some very pretty civil war and 1800's repro fabrics. I'm not sure how I'll be putting this together just yet. I have two options... I might make 16" blocks with this plate in the center and then just do a straight setting OR I might use this as the medallion center and work lots of different blocks around…

I love this quintessantial 1920s quilt block so much, and it's much easier to make than you'd think. I made one of these as a pillow for my quilt market booth for Splendor 1920 and have just made an updated version that I'm about to turn into a pillow as well. This time, I used two Art Gallery Elements fabrics for the backgrounds to give the vintage dresden an updated look. Here's how I made my dresden and the background.

I love making dresden plate blocks and hadn't make one for quite a long time. In the past, I've made a few quilts, table runners, cushions etc so seem to have had a bit of a vacation away from them.

This is Linda’s Dresden Plate quilt and it is made with reproduction fabrics. This will be a wedding gift for her granddaughter who loves vintage things so this will be the perfect gift! Linda’s friend Nadine made the blocks and machine appliqued the Dresden plates. She gave them to Linda and then she pieced the blocks together and then gave it to me to quilt, so it has been a real team effort! She asked for traditional quilting which is exactly what this quilt needed. Since the border was…

Finally a friday finish to share: my pushing up daisies is 67" by 85" partly quilted by hand (the background) and partly by machine (the daisies) started a year ago, inspired by Kathy Doughty's quilt garden party from her book making quilts. My aim was to use the growing pile of scraps and bigger left over pieces of blue and green. I also finally got a chance to play with the dresden block. The process has taken some time, including a bit of considering how to proceed. The background came…
