I have two large quilt projects in progress and both are coming along nicely but slower than I’d like. My Dresden Plate goes Modern project is very time consuming but now that I have lots of the blades made, the next step should move along.
I love the split blade dresden on the bottom right and I have one more to make like that. I am going to leave LOTS of negative space and do some interesting quilting. At least that’s the current plan.
The second BIG project is my Kaffe Bordered Diamonds quilt. I decided to make this queen size so I had to make MORE diamonds. 102 on the front with extras that will go on the back.
My design wall isn’t big enough for this quilt so as I began sewing the rows together, it spills onto the floor. Queen size is BIG! I added more Amy Butler when I added more diamonds and I love the polka dot borders. Lots of progress but it’s slow going! [Sorry about the photo quality - dark sewing room at night

Thanks for checking in. I’m linking up to WIP Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced. Check out the great stuff going on over there.

Wow that is a lot of diamonds. Your dresdens look fantastic.
Great pieces….I really love the 3 dimensional dresden
