    well gcathie I just wanted to let you know that you helped EZ Quilting make some money! I bought the template yesterday, I've had it on my mind for a while but I just really fell in love with your quilt. It's just beautiful.

    Its looking FABULOUS!!! The Dresden Plate block is a fun one to do.. a bit of machine sewing and a bit of applique!!! The best of both worlds!

    Your quilt is fabulous! I think another border would set it off perfectly--maybe the reddish fabric that surrounds your squares?

    WOW WOW WOW!!!! That is just gorgeous. I would not put another border on it. I think it is spectacular, as is. Do you have enough of the red that you used around each block to bind it with? I think that would complete it nicely.

    Gorgeous! Love how you sashed it! I think it looks great as is. I like the red binding idea too!

    WOW!!! Your quilt just keeps getting better and better!! GORGEOUS!! :thumbup: I'm kind of torn with adding a border. I LOVE it the way it is, with the stars in the border. I agree with the others, the red would look great as a binding.
