Slow Stitching Sunday
This Dresden plate block was inherited and I decided to treat it as a crazy quilt. I stitched it years ago but was never quite happy with it. I made the design decision to use only plain cotton threads in keeping with the vintage fabrics. No sparkle, hmm what was I thinking? But more than that there were a few seams that were just not right. I really hate to pick out stitching but I decided to bite the bullet. This piece works as a mandala and can be included in my show but I have to be happy with it. Out came the ugly stitches. In came some metallic thread. So much better. Now to address the doily in the centre. I like it but there is too much white for me. I will consider how to rectify that. I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
