One more Dresden plate block completed

I am making progress on my list of top 12 priority quilts.  Slowly but surely.  The rest of the stuff on the list, outside of the quilting, will take me a while to finish up.

I finished another Dresden plate.  Now I have 8 more to go and I have half of one already started.  I am liking these blocks.  These Dresden plates are different than what I have seen.  Most of the Dresden plate blocks have a coloured circle in the centre.  These blocks don't and the centre is much larger than the usual Dresden plates.

As I look at my list below, I note that this is my last bit of handwork for this year.  I don't kid myself though, as I have many more on my main list.  But I am not complaining.  I like spending some time doing handwork.  It calms me.  They are usually great for taking on the road too.  You can do them just about anywhere, with a bit of preparation.

I think everyone should try it.
