This is my favorite block so far. It was so fun to put together and I love the way it looks. It makes me want to do a whole quilt of Dresdens. Like on the cover of this book, which I picked up yesterday at Joann’s with my 50% off coupon. I highly recommend it – based on just looking through it. I obviously haven’t sewn anything from it yet.
I quilted in the ditch around the center circle and the outside of the flower, then a quarter inch out around the flower.
I took a shot of the back because that’s my favorite part of the quilting – how it looks on the back. The picture doesn’t do it justice (stinkin’ camera). I might go back and quilt in the ditch along the petals. I haven’t decided yet if it needs it or not.
I’ve finished block number 5 as well, but I keep missing the sunny days to take pictures of it. I’m not complaining, though. I love these June Gloom cloudy days. It almost makes the 100+ days coming later in the summer bearable.
