Welcome to everyone visiting from the Blogger's Quilt Festival.
My name is Wendi and I'm so glad you stopped by.
I've enjoyed participating in the festival a few times.
It's a great source of inspiration and talent.
This time, I'm entering one of my favorite finishes in the wall hanging quilt category.
This Little Dresden was made for a swap on flickr. I signed up for the swap, then realized it was for a swap using specific fabrics, Denyse Schmidt fabrics. Luckily I had a few on hand. My partner liked traditional patterns so I went with a Dresden Plate.
To spice things up a bit I made a double pointed dresden, and to my surprise
I was able to make each blade a different print.
I started putting all the blades together, not really convinced they would all play nicely together.
I really enjoy appliqueing, and I don't like working with white,
so the dresden circle was appliqued to Kona Grey.

In the end I loved this sweet little dresden,
so much so that I've been thinking of making a duplicate for my sewing space.

Great dresden - so modern, too! I love that you used the grey to back it, and the inside points are fantastic - I've never seen the middle done that way before.
