Thank you! Glad you liked it and the whole quilt idea is what I did with the present for my son's girlfriend, the dresdens with the raspberry and lime colors on white? I found two fat quarters of one of the darker raspberry's at joann's and sashed between my rows, made the whole thing pop, I think it's gorgeous. Needs batting and backing and it's done. I might quilt some beside the dresdens like stright down the rows between the plates but I am not going to quilt over the plates, they already have been decorative stitched to sew them down (I flipped them with interfacing) so I think that's enough, I'll take a picture with the sashing when I get my batteries back and charged from DS, he has them in his playstation controls right now. But, long answer, yes they make a pretty quilt and I terribly like them!! I was gonna make some grandmother's fans too, basically half dresdens but I need to think a bit about making the half circle and the piecs closet to the edge bigger with a seam allowance because they go right to the edge of the work, those are pretty too. I also cut a pattern for that wagon wheel looking round design I never could find a pattern for so I'll play around with that a bit too....yep, I like the round ones pretty good, even that drunkards' path and the wedding ring appeal to me....backward I guess!!
