I couldn't believe when I saw Rene's choice for December, the Dresden block. I can only remember making this block once before - in my beginning quilting class nearly 30 years ago. Wow. So really, I couldn't resist jumping right in and working on the block. And it was really fun! Love your palette, Rene! {btw, my center is 4", machine-appliqued on with a blanket-stitch.}
With this block done and soon to be mailed, I'll be saying farewell to the Mid-Century Modern Bee. I'd love to stay connected though with all of you, and will definitely share my finished quilt from April (yikes!) - probably in 2015. I look forward to seeing future finishes by the rest of you too! Thanks for the fun sewing together...
I love the Dresden Plate pattern! I was thinking of doing some of my own, or even asking for it when it was my turn to be Queen because i hadn't made one for years either! Yours is really gorgeous Debbie! It is a such a lovely colour palette!
ReplyDeleteWe will miss you from our bee! And I look forward to seeing your next finish- you make such great quilts!
All the best Debbie. Great block
ReplyDeleteGorgeous block, Debbie. I must confess I kept looking at it when selecting fabrics for mine. We'll miss you!

Thank you Debbie for your block! I have it already hanging on my design wall waiting for its friends ;-)) We will miss you in the bee but will definitely be keeping in touch. Looking forward to meeting you in February at QuiltCon.
