Dresden Carnival Blog Hop (and giveaway)
Welcome! Today is my stop on the Dresden Carnival Blog Hop. The book was written by a mother and daughter, Marian Gallian and Yvette Marie Jones. I will admit that I have never made a dresden quilt because I thought it was kind of intimidating, but this book is really making me want to give it a go. I was immediately drawn to this Lily Pad project. I love how much movement the quilt has. And then in this alternate colorway. I would have never guessed that this quilt was based on the Dresden plate. The dresdens are appliquéd, which is a little scary for me, but I think I am going to have to try it anyway. And how gorgeous is this? I love the floating petals. I think that this is a great book for people who love Dresden quilts, but it is also a great quilt for people like me to who would like to branch out a little bit and try something new. And there is a giveaway! Stash is giving away a copy of the book to one lucky winner. ...
