Dresden Plate Quilt with Floral and Geometric Borders.

A few years ago Keepsake Quilting offered precut Dresden Plate wedges so I bought four sets, 80 total pieces. Saving a couple of each pattern for the applique, I added wedges I cut out of 30's reproduction fabrics I had and other bright pastel fabrics. This quilt is the end result. I was making this the summer my sister Pamela died so I call it Pamela's quilt. I sat in her hospital room working on the stippling in the border, adding and then camouflaging our names in the stipple stitches. Maybe 100 years from now some quilt historian will notice and wonder what the story is behind the names in the stippling. The third year anniversary of her death is fast approaching--RIP Pamela.
