Fourth Dresden Plate

 One more Dresden Plate flower is finished (other than the center, which I'll sew on when I attach the flower to the quilt).

Dresden Plate No. 3

 Dresden Plate flower number 3, and all three plates together. They measure 15", 14", and 13". Lots more to go.



 

Second Dresden Flower

 Here's the Dresden Plate flower I just finished -- other than the center, that is.  I'll appliqué the centers on at the same time I'm appliquéing the flowers to the quilt.

Borders on the Dresden Flowers & Flutters Quilt

 The borders are on the Dresden Flowers & Flutters quilt. I got stacks and stacks of fabrics sorted into coordinating groups for the Dresden Plates -- and then had to quit when I finally realized, You know, the reason I don't feel like continuing is because I'm just plain sick! 😵😒🫤😵‍💫🥴😕😖

Here are a couple of pictures showing the borders. Things don't really look like they match -- yet. But I think after I add the fence, the flowers, and the butterflies, it'll all go together. That's what I think, anyway!

Quilts at the Nebraska State Fair






























































































































































































































































































































































































































































































I was surprised to see so many quilted items in the Textiles & Arts Building:



















We left the large main room and were just about to depart the building when we discovered a room across the hall filled with quilts done by 4Hers from ages 8 to 18:






























See the rest of the pictures from the Nebraska State Fair here.
