ANTHOLOGIE PART #2

More Dresden Plates, these have turned out to be such a fun thing to make.  Plus they give one all sorts of embellishment  ideas.  
This particular Dresden was only a half placed on the edge of the block background.  I figured a simple bias strip to finish off the center and show the background fabric through seemed like an interesting idea.  
This plate wasn't even a full half.  So just a fabric center seemed like a good idea.  I ended up using 12 wt Aurifil thread for the blanket stitch.  It really came out nicely, and almost looks like it was hand done.  I really like the way the stitches stand out.  
The last one for this week.  Again just a smaller bias strip to finish it off in the corner.  Yes I still have 2 more to go.  So will see if I can't get those done by next Tuesday to post.
Time to keep sewing.

  1. I'm really enjoying seeing your Dresden project come together. I thought I loved the one with the crocheted doily in the center until I saw the way you used the bias on the inner edge. I think I have a new favorite.

  5. Those are fun - it's interesting to have them each be a different version of a Dresden plate block! Pretty fabric, too!
