Dare to Dresden Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog! I'm so glad you stopped by. I'm delighted to participate in the Dare to Dresden Blog Hop. Be sure to check the end of the post for giveaways.
Lacy Dresden
7.5" square
Original design
Completed 1/23/2013

While reviewing images of Dresden Plates for inspiration, I got the idea to make a block from lace. I love blue and white pottery, and so I decided to use a blue background against white lace.

Below are a couple of Electric Quilt sketches for the lacy Dresden blocks. Whether the blades were angular or rounded depended on the lace I used.



Two big piles of lace trim given to me by quilter friend Judy P.
The trims are leftovers from dresses she made for her granddaughters, now grown, when they were very young.

These are just a few of the possibilities that I pulled from the piles of lace. Note the wide widths to provide enough length for the blades.

After auditioning many lace trims, I chose this one.

Above. original trim; below, gathers removed.

Using Electric Quilt I printed Dresden blocks in several sizes. I created a template from a size that worked well with the lace.

Frixion pen for tracing. Purple ink disappears with heat of the iron.

Chose an area of the lace with a raised top edge. Decided not to go with the rose, as I was afraid the end result with look too solid.

Tracing on lace

Three blades

Three blades sewn together, seam allowances trimmed

Liked the idea of leaving a good amount of space around the blades

Four sets of blades arranged, with rose in center

Like this look

Four sections

Sections sewn together

Auditioning the rose as center

Like the blue center better

Trying my broken needles and pins bottle for size


After two failed attempts at making a faced center, free-cut this circle

Zigzagged around circle with invisible thread

Chose backing and batting

Quilted "rays" with invisible thread

Back

Quilted around perimeter of lace with a combination of straight stitching and zigzag

Straight stitched over top curves of blades, but zigzagged in "valleys" between blades to cover the gaps where the thick lines did not meet.

Once again, the finished quilt

Back

Now for the giveaways. You could win one of the two fat quarters below.


White-on-white                      Blue

For a chance to win one of the fat quarters, simply leave a comment by the last day of the Blog Hop (end of Thursday, January 31). Be sure to mention whether you prefer White or Blue.

    I am loving the different ways to use Dresdens that have been featured on this hop! This is a very inventive idea. I am thinking about doing a crazy quilt project and a block like this would be perfect for it.

    Hi Aunt Debbie- I love, love, love your lacy Dresden. How clever you are! I'll have to keep your idea in the back of my mind. My sister and I are looking forward to the Shop Hop in April that will take us to Sacramento. We went on one last year that landed us as far south as Turlock and we love the shop there. We stayed with a former colleague in Stockton one night. Shop hops are so much fun because you get to see different fabric, projects, etc. It's like a mini-vacation! From the SF Bay Area, thanks for sharing.

    That is a beautiful dresden. The rose center would look great on a blue dresden. I like the idea of a lacy center. Thanks for the inspiration. I love that blue fabric.

    I love your block. You are very clever to use lace. How did you get rid of the gather?
    I love the blue.

    What an awesome idea. I have never seen anyone using lace to create a Dresden block. That's just so pretty. Wonderful work.

    If I won I would be happy with either white or blue so if I am chosen you can surprise me. I love that color blue but I always can use white also. Thank you. Oh and I am already a follower of your blog.

    Very, very nice. When you first started, I thought you were going to put lace around the rounded corners of blades. You fooled me. Very clever. A job well done. It's so interesting see to see how differently people see things. Thanks for a different look.
