Carli The Quilter

 I began the work of completing "A Dresden Summer." Go to my tutorial on Freestyle Dresden Plate Fan here. here. I played around a bit with the creation of the Chevron braids that originally were to encircle the center portion with the 4 Dresden Plates. But when it was all said and done. This left me feeling like a bit overwhelmed with too much colour. I felt the outer border braids took all the love from the Dresden Plates. What do you think? So I decided to give A Dresden Summer a better presentation. I have so far added another inner border   I chose a deer scene print. I didn't have more of the lemon or the beige check print, so I improvised! Now, I'm setting it on the other side of my room to view while I work on other projects. Tell me, would you continue with the bright outer border of the Chevron Braid? Carli

Oh, yes did I tell you that the border is going chevron! Its turning out so wild, free and easy to do! Some of you, who may not know I have committed to completing my UFO's.  I have started into my UFO's and the first is what I've now officially named "A Dresden Summer."  This quilt may be a diverse swirl in a county background but its also up for the challenges of my creative mind. I like to challenge myself.  Tutes are coming soon! So what do think of this newest addition and now this quilt has a name? Let me know? Do tell me if  you think its too much or are additional borders needed, what? I'm waiting to  hear from you :) Carli
