I've finished my dresden "Dessert Plates" top full of chocolates of all kinds. I'm waiting for the backing fabric (chocolate macaroons) to arrive in the mail. I have already received the variegated brown perle #8 I'm going to use for the hand quilting. Not sure I like the border that much (it's kind of bright but fabrics do match the centers) ...but it will have to do now.

FAN-TASTIC! What a great quilt. I think the border is fun and depending on your quilt-thread color, it could tame it down a bit if you think it needs it. I like it. Pretty!
ReplyDeleteI like you choice of border! It ties the quilt all together. I can't wait to see it all completed!
ReplyDeleteCathy, your quilt is just beautiful! Can't wait to see it quilted and ready for use.
ReplyDeleteI love the dessert theme!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet quilt that is. Love the dresden plates. I think the using all the colors in from the quilt in the border frames it wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea there were so many choco fabrics - I must find some!! Gorgeous quilt!
