That's breathtaking. Your work and color choices are incredible and the quilting is amazing. I absolutely love it. You can always call it Redquilter's quilt and send it to me!
What a beautiful quilt and quilting. You did a great job on it, adding the applique really adds so much. Agree with you that the dresden is such a cool pattern with so many ways to finish it.
Beautiful! I wish I could call it "mine!" It looks like raw silk! I've been threatening to do a Dresden Plate for years and I'm inspired constantly when I see ones as beautiful as yours!
