My current plan is to make 8 scrappy cogwheel blocks to go with a compass star block and the backing is going to come from some chintz curtains that were taken down when we moved into our current home. I love trying to figure out how to take what I have and make it into a top. I love your dresden idea and that triangle border is wonderful too! I recently quilted a cable and let the cable run off each border, it was so much fun to let go and just have fun and not worry about turning corners and matching etc.Carla A Few Of My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782840958923418159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-58602660621001236242014-03-06T00:02:30.978-08:002014-03-06T00:02:30.978-08:00The Dresdens are lovely in the border.

It is a beautiful project, I also thought about doing it, but I already have a similar project, Di Ford's Phebe quilt, that seems to go on forever and it is always in the back of my mind.....

I just love mixing new and old fabrics and seeing how well they work together. I have finished the center medallion of LE, thru part 7, and am no giving myself a break before doing more. If I get more done great, if not no worry, I have enjoyed the process so far and I am having fun!!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14935945785304234555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-21145190810320417782014-03-05T14:22:04.421-08:002014-03-05T14:22:04.421-08:00Your quilt really is wonderful.

I am not even done with the center medallion yet and already I know I will change it up and leave a lot out of it and maybe create something totally different! I love those Dresden!Karen - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-31671383824971001522014-03-05T13:19:19.191-08:002014-03-05T13:19:19.191-08:00Lovely Dresdens.

I would have to add though, that it also often comes to me in a design element - like your border. I will see something in a pattern or on a blog, and want to make that, so I build a quilt around the idea. And when an idea hits, I have to make it now, not tomorrow or in the never never, but NOW, so I dive for the stash. I need a party of little elves to come along behind me to finish off all my starts.
