I'm so happy with how these Dresden Plates have come together. After making one, I decided to make three more and make a wall hanging to put on my big, beige, empty wall above my couch. As much as I love the neutrality of the house we bought, I'm starting to feel a little blah-ish and in need of some color. (May have to do with the time of year too.)
I still need to add borders, but I decided to take the quilt for a 'test-drive' on the wall. I think I like it. But I also wonder about making it into a bigger quilt. Decisions.
Thanks for all the reassurance on the artistic children. It's nice to know I'm not alone. And nice to know there are stellar cleaning products available.
Also, I'm linking up today with V and Amylouhou's Sew and Tell. Be sure to check out lots of other project fun!

That looks great! I really like it as a wall hanging.

Your dresden plates make such a happy wall hanging. You could also get canvas stretcher bars and put it on them, and it would look like artwork.

It looks great! If you want a bigger quilt, I think you'll just have to start a new one. This is perfect on your wall!

One of the fun things about selecting beige walls and tan furntiure is that you can change the colors around with pillows and quilts. That way, you are not tied in to only one look. I love the dresden plates over the couch. It's a keeper!

I love dresden plates!!! I was thinking of making one single plate for a wall hanging or a pillow.<br /><br />Btw when she was little, my sister took permanent marker and wrote on our standing fan "BIG BROWN FAN". My mother had a fit but I giggle about it to this day hehe

You did a fantastic job! Very pretty indeed.<br /><br />I finished my son's quilt with those I-spy squares from your Etsy store! I'm sooooo happy with how it turned out. He really loves it so far, so it's a win-win! ;)<br /><br />https://shelvesinmymind.blogspot.com/2010/04/i-spy-quilt-top.html
