Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?
Difficulty:
Category: Quilting
Type of item: Home Decor
For: Home
Style: Romantic
Materials
100% cotton fabrics that have been washed, dried, pressed, rotary cut and machine stitched in my smoke free studio.
What was your inspiration?
I LOVE PURPLE, AND LILACS. SO WHEN I SAW THIS FABRIC, I JUST KNEW I HAD TO UTILIZE IT. AND QUILTING IS MY THING, SO IT WAS A NATURAL DECISION TO TURN THIS INTO A QUILT BLOCK, WHICH THEN BECAME AN ENTIRE QUILT, THAT I JUST KEEP ADDING NEW IDEAS TO. IT CAN BE VERY BASIC, OR AS DETAILED AS YOU WANT TO MAKE IT.
What are you most proud of?
I AM MOST PROUD OF THE WAY THE QUILT TURNED OUT, AND HOW BEAUTIFUL THE COLORS ARE TOGETHER. WHEN YOU START A QUILTING PROJECT, CHOOSING THE FABRICS AND COLORS ARE IMPORTANT, BUT SOMETIMES THE COORDINATION ISNT AS STRIKING AS YOU DREAMT IT WOULD BE. NOT IN THIS CASE, ONCE FINISHED, THIS WAS JUST BREATHTAKING.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
PLAN YOUR DESIGN WELL. DECIDE IF YOU WANT YOUR FINISHED QUILT TO BE ALL 12" DRESDEN PLATES, OR ALL 17" DRESDEN PLATES, OR A 40" DRESDEN CENTER BLOCK SURROUNDED BY THE 17" BLOCKS. THEN MAKE SURE, BEFORE YOU START PUTTING THE QUILT TOP TOGETHER, THAT YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY SURE YOU DONT WANT THE EMBROIDERED SASHINGS. BECAUSE ONCE IT IS PUT TOGETHER, EITHER YOU HAVE A LOT OF RIPPING TO DO TO ADD THEM LATER, OR START ANOTHER QUILT. AND TAKE PICTURES AS YOU GO, FROM START TO FINISH. YOU WILL BE AMAZED.
