Feast your eyes on this, oh great quilters! I actually made a Dresden Plate. Whew. What a relief. I may do nothing but DPs from now on.
Even the ugly colors don't look too too bad here. Now onto doing some cute ones for a doll quilt. I'm thinking that for the little quilt, I might want to make them a bit smaller, maybe from 4" squares. I don't know. I can practice on more of these charms.
Now to set it onto a block and sew it down. What do you think? I haven't the foggiest idea on how to put in the batting and backing. All at once? Gah. Knitting is so much easier, but I did it. Happy Dance around the house.
CarolynJean - They're growing on me. My mother likes olives and browns. Maybe I'll put it on a creamy piece of fabric.
beebee - I think it'll become an addiction!
Wall-to-wall books - It's actually much much prettier in real life. I think I'll keep it and make a little wall hanging out of it. Or something.
Grace - Thanks. I do too. ;-)
