More Dresden pictures

Hello again,
As promised I'm back with more pictures that I took outside this time after washing the quilt. Unfortunately I couldn't take a vertical picture because of the lack of hanging up opportunities. 
We met Birthday Girl and her Mom at the park where we gave it to them, Mom was crying :)) She liked it very much. It makes me totally happy to know that it will be appreciated. She even said that it's big enough for her :)
There were a few things I wanted to answer before I  post the pictures. Someone was asking which fabric line I was using. I picked the fabrics out of my stash, no particular fabric line, I don't think even 2 of them were from the same manufacturer. There was another question about the quilting. I quilt my quilts on my Singer 201-2 sewing machine (picture is here in my first blogpost). I have not made any quilts with marking. Yet. That's coming up in the future I'm sure :) I do not follow any patterns, just totally free motion quilting.

With no further ado here are the additional pictures, enjoy!

  2. Our quilt guild's speaker this month was Becky Goldsmith and her topic was color. She talked about what our eye sees and how the most interesting and fascinating part of any picture goes to the "outliers" the item that stands out the most. Your quilt is wonderful and not because of your excellent work but because of those dark dresdens the pop up sporadically through out!! I don't like pink, but I am in love with this quilt!! Thought I'd share. :)

  7. It's beautiful. Congrats on the finish. I'm not surprised she liked it. But isn't it great when someone loves something you've made for them. That true appreciation makes me want to make more things for them

  9. Love your quilt. I love seeing all the pink fabrics you used and how you finished the back. Thanks for showing us all that quilting, front and back, as I'm always interested in seeing how others quilt their quilts. Great job!
