I like the solid center the best , yellow or any other solid color, even if you mixed up the solids, the blades are really nice. I love the Dresden Plate pattern.

Your plates are lovely, I think I would like a solid color center for each block. You are doing a good job. Let us see the finished quilt.

Peace and Blessings,

I agree with Janetlmt. Yellow best suits your pattern better than the others.

Hello. You sure have pretty prints in the design. I have always used a solid yellow. It would be just as pretty I think if you used a solid center to fit any color scheme you have.

Or .. have you tried a dark solid? Brown or black?

Thank you all very much.
the plates will be all the same and brown sounds like a great idea, only solid brown I dont like. How about

Love the 1st brown!!!! Allows the plate to really shine.
