It's time for the Blogger's Quilt Festival again, hosted by the super Amy Ellis @amyscreativeside.com. This year I'm entering the Dresden Quilt I made for my friend's daughter's 1st Birthday. It's made with pink and white fabrics so I will enter it in the two color quilts category. If you really like the quilt I'd appreciate your nomination :)
I finished the quilt in August, 2012. It was machine pieced, hand appliqued, and machine quilted by me. The little cute pinwheels in the corners are 3-D which I'm really proud of :) I really loved making this quilt and even did a tutorial how to do the Dresden plates block and a perfect circle. The blocks are 12" finished, there are 2" sashings with cornerstones, and the borders measure 4". The finished size of the quilt is 48" x 60".
Here are the pictures I took, enjoy!

Thank you so much for looking and hope I'll see you quilt in there, too!
'Til we blog again! :)
Oh, Kati, it's just gorgeous! The quilting is amazing and I love how you use the blades in the back. How did you get the horizontal to line up so perfectly? That's always a challenge for me. I get it almost even but never exactly. It's perfect and sure your friend's daughter will love it more and more as she grows older.
ReplyDeleteJust such a wonderful quit.
ReplyDeleteIt is absolutely gorgeous, i like this very much:)))
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty quilt and so lovely for a 1st birthday. It's like coconut ice or a strawberry cupcake in those pinks and whites. The quilting looks great, I really like the spirals in the center of the dresdans. A really gorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteVery Pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely darling! Beautiful quilting.
