I had to look twice at the pic with the pinwheels in the sashings. I really like the double strip with the pinwheels instead of one large sashing!

Cute pics. You really don't even need sashing if you don't want. Dresden plates are gorgeous as is.
What a nice thing to do for your MIL!!

[quote=Elisabethann]My MIL took a quilting class years ago and started a dresdan quilt for her bed. They moved last year and some of their things are in our basement. I was moving things around today and found the box with her quilting stuff in it. She has 16 blocks completed and has pieced another 12 of the plates, just not attached them to the backing yet.

I'm trying to figure out how to finish this for her as a surprise for her B-Day in mid Feb. :shock: Not sure I can pull it off, but would like to try. Can you show me your pictures of ones you've completed so I can see what the options are?


Here is mine. I made it into the fan pattern though, easier for me to finish off. I hand quilted it all and it took me over 3 years, off and on. I love it though and it looks very nice in the guest bedroom.
