2nd Quilt - "Dresden Plate"

The Second Quilt I did was this Dresden Plate. Again all machine, except for the hand candlewicking squares.

White background is from old sheets from the 1940's/1950's. Quite a lesson there when trying to hand quilt, as the 'thread count' in those old sheets was high, so weave was very close/tight together.

Another "lesson learned" on this quilt, was the Sashing Fabric. Ran out of the Blue, so had to go back to the store to get more, only to find it was all gone, and had to use another dye lot.

This Quilt, unfortunately, had quite a bit of exposure to the Sun, so it is very faded in some places.
