I am making a Dresden Fan quilt. A new version of the quilt I made in 2011. I am using polka dots again, just different polka dots... I have even white on white polka dots... If you remember, I am not fond of turned edge appliques. That's why I chose to turn the Dresden Fan block into an octagon then into a square. Who doesn't love piecing squares? This is definitely a fun block! I … [Read more...]

But pillows must be frequently washed and I want to keep the colors bright as long as possible so I have to use these for other projects, that don't need washing. Maybe I will laminate a few, … [Read more...]
