Dresden Borders

4/13/2019

 
First -- if you missed part 1, you are going to want tocheck out the post where I shared with you how to draft the center of a dresden quilt.  Here is the quilt created last week.
Now we are ready to add borders.

The borders can be a bit of a challenge, but I have some tricks that I will share with you so that you can create these half blocks using last weeks block as a starting point.

Here is the quilt from this video.

Photo Backdrop Quilts

I am in the process of releasing my Landscape Quilts class in the Tech Know Quilter group.  Here are a few designs that were posted f from Lesson 3.  The fun part of this lesson is each person selected one of their own photographs to use as the backdrop for the quilt.  They then used either an image from a  fabric panel or a personal photo to add a bit of whimsy to their background.  

​I absolutely loved the creativity shown by these designers.

Dee F. added a cut-out of a horse to her background. She noted that bluebonnets are everywhere right now.
Picture
Julie P. created the bird cut-out, but also added the pre-cut bird as a border. She used a picture of her windmill from last summer as the backdrop.
Picture
Dorothy I. noted that this is Rasputin, our rooster proudly walking in the garden.

Dorothy I. Jana my cat still has dirt on her feet. I shoudn't allow her to sit on my work. I altered the background image with the special-effects - 3D from a flat view to slightly skewed.
