Allison's Dresden Plate beauty...

I recently quilted a beautiful Dresden Plate quilt for Allison - the Cluck Cluck Sew girl!
Back in July of last year she blogged about it here.
 
 
I was thrilled when she asked me to quilt it!
(heels kicking in the air!)
But I have to admit I'm always a little timid when it comes to quilting antique blocks. 
I want to "bring them to life", as Allison puts it, and quilt them in a way they were originally suppose to be quilted. 
LOVE these vintagel prints!

 
I went with a simple stipple to recede the solid background.

 
Then I quilted 1/4" inside each Dresden wedge and swirled the centers.
This one was the only printed center in the entire quilt....love that! (Allison's photo)
 
Antique Dresdens

 
Her backing reminded me of the Dresden's - in a modern sort of way.

 
Allison bound it with a white binding.....perfect!

Thank you, Allison, for allowing me to quilt this beauty!
