Monday Quilt Day Thoughts and Things: We have all heard the saying:
"When life hands you scraps make quilts."

Well, how about, "When your cupboard is stuffed and overflowing with scraps make quilts." That definitely sounds easier.

I have always wanted to do a dresden plate quilt but wasn't sure how. I found this nifty ruler that makes it fairly easy to do, so I am up for the challenge and will give it a try.


Four of these units make a circle. The circle middle is then sewn in, not sure what that will be yet. I hope to have it done by the "Pickles Quilt Show" in August.

  1. One of these days I'm going to do a sewing room post, which will show my over abundance of fabric!!! I get so attatched to it that it's hard for me to use the last of anything...and I end up with a lot more fabric than I ever intended!!!!!

    Add to that, my colors are changing, going a little more vintage, a little brighter. More like the colors in the dresden plate quilt you are doing. Which means....yes....more fabric!!!!

    It's the little things in life!!...
