Fire up the GO!!

YIKES!!  I need a very special Birthday Gift fast… by July!  It’s got to be happy, colourful and cheerful…something for a young person but not TOO young…something…JUST RIGHT!  Sounds like this quilt is going to be for Goldilocks!

I think I found the PERFECT quilt…in my UFOs…P1100083 There are six Dresden's already  made…maybe make another 3-6 plates…to get a decent size quilt??   This is definitely doable…and colourful and doesn’t get any more cheerful than this!

Fire up the GO!! more Dresdens I do SEW!

Don’t you just love UFOs…well maybe a finished quilt sitting in the cupboard ready to be wrapped would have been nice too…in fact it would have been VERY nice!! 

So the Tumbler Quilt is going to be marching in one spot for awhile…until this baby gets finished!!

Have a terrific Tuesday and Happy Quilting!~P

  4. Can't wait to see it finish. I made a Dresden as a tabletopper for a gift and it was well recieved. Would like to make a whole quilt someday. How are you going to quilt it?

  6. How could you have those beautiful blocks already made and not finish them. More to the point, how could you bear to give them away? The person that receives this gorgeous quilt is one lucky gal.

  10. I really like the dresdens, but maybe you only need a total of 9? With one or a group of wide borders, should be a double size?
    Will you put double sided fusible interfacing on back of dresden plates and then iron onto background fabric?
    I'm sure it will be the perfect gift!
    Take care, Leslie

  11. Love all the bright colors. Being half done is way better than not started at all. Looks like another UFO will be getting done.

  16. It may not have been finished, but at least you had some of the blocks done. I'm looking forward to seeing this finished-it's going to be just right for someone young(ish)
