Delightful Dresdens Done! I am so pleased with how this quilt turned out. My plan was to make them into circles but as you can see I changed my mind. This is my own pattern even though I am sure it has been done many times.
This quilt all started when
Stephanie sent me some Denyse Schmidt fabrics that she bought at Joanns. That is when I knew it was time to make a Dresden quilt. I started sewing the blades and bought the DS gold fabric for the background which I think is perfect. After I got the top made I went back to Joanns to get the border fabric and the backing. The choices were very few but I found something I liked.
I just love this plaid for the back. Here you can also see the quilting design which was done by a long arm quilter. (
Sew Together) With the plaid on the back it could be a reversible quilt.
I am not sure what I will name this quilt. No, Delightful Dresdens is not the name. My daughter said the Dresdens remind her of dragonflies. I also think of a picnic when I look at this quilt. So I will think on it for a while. Feel free to give me any ideas. :)
With Passion,
Carrie P.

Holy smokes that is beautiful! I agree with your daughter that it looks like dragonflies. Stunning and such great use of the beautiful fabric. Way to go!
I love what you did with the Dresden Plates! When I saw it, I immediately thought of bows, so I would call it the 'Happy Dresden Bow' quilt.
Very nice! They really do look like Dragonflies.
Wow...I CAN see the dragonflies. Your quilt is wonderful!
Your quilt is delightful and it reminds me so much of hot summer days under a tree. What about "Picnic Friends"?
When I'm sitting outside and see some dragonflies flitter by, they are so fascinating to watch.
Gorgeous! It really does look like dragonflies. Beautiful!
Dresden Butterfly is what I would call your quilt. Makes a very pretty summery looking quilt.
I love what you did with your Dresdan Quilt, so cute !
I more than like it, A LOT!!! :o)
A Dragonfly Picnic? blessings, marlene
Really cute, love it. When I first saw it I thought of butterflies. This morning my daughter and I were walking through a field and we noticed tons of dragonflies, really fascinating. What about dragonfly field?
Very pretty Carrie! Thanks for sharing your finish -enjoy!
Dresden quilt is absolutely fabulous!! I love the fabrics set against the yellow background!
I thought of butterflies when I saw this. It's beautiful. I love the background fabric too!
It almost has a fanned bowtie effect in the first picture. I like it, job well done!
Your daughter and I are of like minds. It's beautiful, Carrie!
It looks gorgeous, I'm with your daughter, definitely looks like Dragonflies to me. How about 'dragonfly delight'?
The Dresdens reminded me of dragonflies too!
It's just beautiful, Carrie. I've never seen a Dresden made this way.
A very fun quilt and so nicely quilted! I see butterflies.

Love your Dresden quilt Carrie.. it reminds me of Butterflies...:o)) You just have to love Denyse´s fabrics..:O))
It is stunning. Fantastic work.
Lovely! My first thought when I saw them was butterflies, but dragonflies seems even more apt. The plaid makes me think of summer. Maybe "Dragonfly Picnic"? :)
