It's beautiful! Don't you just love it when it's wash and dried and crinkled? I do!

Thank you for the info. I have some blue dresden plates and may try to adapt them to a quilt similar to yours.

Thank you for the more info.

That is very pretty. I am working on a blue one also, 5 shades of blue in it. I am putting mine on either muslin or off white squares. I really like yours.

Oh my favorite color, must tell me DIL who is just starting to quilt. She wants to make a Dresden plate quilt...

Looks so good for your start in the wonderful world of quilting for the fun of it.
