I took my newly finished Dresden Garden quilt to guild yesterday, and two quilters held it while I took a picture.
This looks a bit blurry to me although it looks fine on my phone. I'll see if I can get a clearer one when I show and tell it at my other guild Tuesday night. I used a pattern on the Riley Blake website for the fabric bundle "Flora" and hummed the tune of the old song while I worked. But I diverged after making the Dresden Plates, adding the paper pieced butterflies and then the subsequent borders.
Robin immediately recognized the "potato chip" blocks in the next to the last border. Those are fun to make although my mom would probably tell me they make the quilt too "busy." I enjoyed making the pieced binding. This quilt measures 72" x 72" so will fit a twin bed. I have no recipient in mind for this quilt - I never do - but I will enjoy having it on the guest bed for a while.

that quilt looks good. I have only started to hear people call those blocks potato chip blocks recently - I wonder how that came to be
