This quilt was inspired by one in a book by Susan Cleveland, where alternate blades are camouflaged by matching the background and quilting right over them as though they don’t exist. The lavender blades of of my Dresdens are machine embroidered with floral motifs, and there are alternating purple wedges with corded piping edging to connect the ring.
The quilting is mostly free-motion with lots of feathers, as well as some ruler work. Two corners have partial faux Dresdens quilted into them, and there are also two feathered wreaths. There is double corded piping next to the binding.
The quilt measures 48″ x 36.5″ and was finished in July, 2023.
