When my friend Carol sent me all those magazines to go through, she also sent a few other goodies in with the pile. In one of the bags with the log cabin blocks and the shadow quilt blocks, I found three of these blocks. They are another variation of a Dresden plate. In this version though the edges are done in points. They are very colourful and cheerful.
These blocks were made a bit different as well. Instead of the Dresden plates being assembled in a circle, they were appliqued to a rectangular piece of white fabric. One quarter of a Dresden plate to each corner. When these rectangles are sewn together the four quarters will come together to make a full Dresden plate.
I put these aside to play with them later. I have a few things already on the go right now and my list of to do work to get done. I will enjoy working with these bright fabrics. I think I will go into my stash of older bright fabrics to see about making a larger top.
I copied this quote from Bonnie Hunter's blog Quiltville.com. I like the quote, but I copied it mainly for the quilt that she has pictured here.
As far as quilts on my quilt-want-to-be list. This quilt is not on it, because this quilt is already started. I am making this quilt in Christmas colours. Mine is in green, red, gold and some black. I was working on it for a bit as a leader/ender, but like everything else I got distracted. I still very much like this mystery quilt from Bonnie Hunter. I will get back to it......soon.
