Good morning. I finally did something that I've been meaning to do for a while now -
I took some pictures of my finished Sunkiss Dresden Plate quilt!
I've got so many fun pictures to share with you...I hope you don't mind :).
When Devonstone Square reached out to me to let me know that they are a brand new wholesaler in the USA, carrying Tilda Fabrics by Tone Finnanger (from Norway) and asked if I wanted to collaborate - of course, I said "Yes!!!" I've been a big fan of Tilda Fabrics for a while now and was excited to get my hands on these beautiful, unique fabrics!
I wanted to use a pattern that really did these fabrics justice so I chose one of my all-time favorite quilt blocks - the Dresden Plate. I used the Pretty Petals pattern from my book, Vintage Vibe for the Dresden Plate blocks but omitted the alternate patchwork blocks.

I enjoy making these blocks now...but you need to read the story in my book about how I USED to feel about Dresden Plate quilts. I used to swear that I would never make a Dresden Plate quilt. Are any of you currently in that same boat?
I do enjoy applique...I just don't do it very often anymore.
You get to spend some good quality time with your fabrics.
And as I always say, "A little progress each day adds up to BIG results!"
Do you like applique? I think most people either love it or hate it.
My quilt finished at 53" x 53".
It was custom quilted by Kaylene Parry in Lehi, UT.
I love the crosshatching she did in the centers. Actually, I love everything she did!
I used a light pink solid for the back so the quilting would show up really nicely.
The color is "New Color Petal DV121" from Devonstone Square.
And I decided to do a scrappy binding because I thought it would be a fun touch around the white background and borders.
I had so much fun making this quilt and hope you enjoyed seeing some of the process.
Edited: this quilt is now for sale on Instagram under my destash account.
Click HERE for the link. I'm sad to see it go. A lot of hours and love went into this quilt but I just don't have a place for it. It's time to make room for upcoming projects so I've decided to include it in a small destash sale I'm having. I do hope you'll check it out.
Have a great day friends!
Thanks for stopping by!
