I put this one off for a while trying to figure out what would work for my top. I saw some great examples with appliquéd circles and beaded chains, but I didn’t feel like that was the direction I wanted to go.
I finally decided I would take the obvious choice and make some drunkards path squares, but I couldn’t find my 5” drunkards path ruler. I took everything out of the ruler drawer, and it’s not there. I did, however, find a couple of Dresden rulers. It’s been a while since I made a Dresden plate. I made four quarter squares thinking they can be corner blocks.
I was hoping to incorporate more white, so I put them on a white background. I think they will work, depending what the next round is.
The orange and yellow is so pretty on the white background! It looks like sunshine. I’ve got some ideas about the next round, but I’ll wait for the prompt.
The Dresdens are such pretty colors, that's a great idea. Hope the prompt tomorrow works with your ideas!
ReplyDeleteThank you; I’m hoping so too!
Deletethe Dresdens work out good and I like the color
ReplyDeleteI’m hoping they will work with the next prompt.
DeleteGreat idea! I like the orange in the Dresdens - it connects to your orange border!
ReplyDeleteI wanted more of the yellow and the orange, so it works out well.
DeleteDon't you just hate it when you can't find something? But you found the Dresden templates, so it's all good! They look great!
ReplyDeleteOh, I hate it so much! I think the Dresdens will ultimately be better than the drunkards path though.
DeleteIt looks really nice. I like the softness of the colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYour opening comment cracked me up, with how your quilt wasn't calling out for curves. (Still makes me smile.) So, your idea for cornerstones of Dresdens is a perfect solution: curves with straight lines. I like how you make it a fan--what a great flourish for your quilt!
ReplyDeleteI feel like the quilt is very angular, but the dresdens should work with that.
DeleteThose will look cute in the corners!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteDresdens were my second choice, too! They are going to look great in your corners. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat! Great minds think alike!
DeleteLove your Dresden blocks, they will look great in the corners.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
