    Here's block # 42 Dresden Plate. The circle is not in the middle but I did the best I could.

    The dark blue fabric with the white flowerdesign once belonged to my Mom. She gave it to me shortly before she passed.

    Anael this has turned out so beautiful--your color selection is superb and so well balanced. My first thought was a white border with applique leaves and flowers. I have a feeling this is not going to happen since you just "love" to applique--not.

    So many colors......so beautifully combined. I know you will come up with a perfect border. Almost anything you decide upon, will work. Mom must be grinning from ear to ear.....

    OK. you know me so well

    OK and Wendy, thanks for the compliments. It's a weird feeling to be finished. I've been looking at the quilt all day and I think my Mom would have been pleased with the result.

    This is so pretty. I love that purple fabric in the Martha Washington block.
