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!

Leave me one comment before Thursday the 31st at midnight on this post for the chance to win some Bella fat quarters.  

Happy sewing!
Amanda

  75. 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.

    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.
