The Sew We Quilt Dresden Blog Hop
It is time to share what I have been working on in the Sew We Quilt Dresden Blog Hop!
I couldn't wait to make a runner out of some Dresden's out of my the Seaglass color story from my Bella Collection for Blend Fabrics! I hadn't tried Dresdens in just the aquas and greens in this collection yet...
Whiel rumaging through my rulers I found some Laundry Basket Dresden Templates that inspired the star inserts - I highly recommend them. They were such fun to play with and I liked the crisp white triangles against the soft prints.
The backgrounds are Patrick Lose prints. I saved the emerald green Bella print for the border for higher contrast.
Visit all the other blogger's sites to see the pretty Dresdens they have posted! There is such a wide variety!
I was admiring your FMQ on this. I just last night tried it for the first time. I was thrilled to find the right setting for my tension.. YAY!! Step one complete :) I am on my way.. LOL. Okay I have a long way to go to make my hands do what my mind wants them to do and make mine look as beautiful as what I just saw your picture show.. ho hum..it is a shame to waste beautiful fabric in the effort.
Your project is just gorgeous, as are your fabrics! I would love to win some Bella fat quarters to go with the pieces I already have!! I've been having so much fun with them!
What a gorgeous runner!! I first nticed the design and the beutiful colors, but a close-up look at those great fabrics... swoon!!!! Thanks for the chance to win some FQs!!!!
Good morning Amanda...WOW great minds think alike. I 'Dared to Dresden' with the same block...love Edyta's Dresden Star block and combined with your Bella fabrics...simply stunning. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing with us today. Happy stitching, Pauline
Oh my what a gorgeous project. I love those fabrics...Absolutely beautiful and calming colors for sure.. Your blog is new to me. I have signed up to follow you. conn_and_vans_mom(at)yahoo(dot)com
The white triangle inserts make the Dresden pop. I love the fabrics and the white triangles draw the eye to just the little pop of red (or orange) in the fabrics. A great job! The quilting is beautiful and looks great on the solid emerald green backing. The binding looks great with each side. Thank you for participating and the wonderful inspiration.
Just gorgeous Amanda, as always. I really LOVE this one and those fabrics are so pretty too.
Is the Laundry Basket Dresden template different somehow? I attempted to find it, but it doesn't appear to be on her site. I have another one but wondered if there was a difference in using hers instead. Thank you.
Tried to comment this morning but blogger wasn't cooperating. I love your Dresdens. The color is so soothing and the fabric choice is awesome. Love it!
The sea glass colors are so gorgeous, reminds me of the sea. Now this laundry basket dresden template is new to me, sure would like one. Beautiful table runner glad you shared it.
Beautiful. I love the soft colours. The sashing prints make it look even more intricate. I have not seen the little white inserts before this blog hop. They really do show off the colours.
I love how your quilting accentuated the fabric designs! Awesome! And your version of the Dresden is one of my favorites with the added inserts that make it look like a starburst. So pretty!
