So, at the moment there is a lot going on around here, but today I thought I would pop this quilt of my own that I finished over the weekend onto the machine. The idea being that this would be a little Valentine's present to myself. I will get back to working on customer quilts tomorrow and hopefully get caught up again by the week's end I am really loving the simple honey comb quilting design on this quilt. The only issue I have with it is that it has been a pain to get it lined up after each advancement of the quilt (every two rows). Since it is a quilt for myself, I'm not as concerned and it is good practice for working on lining up the registration marks precisely. Gosh, can I just say how fun it was to make the dresden plates? It was a quick and easy quilt to make, which surprised me. I did chain piece all blocks--there are only four different blocks (16 in total). I also machine appliqued everything (no hand stitching) with a 2 by 2 length/width zigzag. The entire quilt measures 98" x 98" and is used from my stash of the "old" mono pez. I am debating on what binding I will add. I might do a color binding or perhaps a darker black...

Wow, I can't believe how fast you finished that quilt. It is gorgoues! Enjoy your valentine's present!
Wow!!
That looks amazing. You are a real speed machine. Need to get my Dresden Ruler dusted off.
Gorgeous! I love your Dresden plates and how they pop out from the background print. I agree with Calico Cat that a rainbow border would look great, perhaps a scrappy border of the lovely Pez fabrics.
Beautiful
Gorgeous!! Love the colors, the design, the dresden plates, the background. SO awesome!
It looks amazing! I cant believe how quickly you whipped it up. How are you getting so much done with a business and kiddliwinks? Great work, sooo looking forward to seeing it all finished
You don't sleep right? Is that the answer to achieving so much so quickly?! I wasn't sure about the background to start with but now I'm loving it!! The way they pop off the background is FAB! What about a pieced binding of the Dresden fabrics?
Sorry, me again! I've changed my mind, go the black binding!
Let me say just how much I love this. I wasn't sure about the blocks until you set them with the black and white pez. Now? I think it is amazingly cool. Rainbow binding?
really, really beautiful. I love the pezzy print as the background! Well done. Can't wait to see it quilted.
