First I drew up this design on butcher paper. Then I ironed it to the block below and stitched over that, tracing each line. Learned a lesson with this one......never use pencil. I've used pencil on parchment paper and had some transfer of the lead to the thread, but with butcher paper it was worse. In the future I will draw my designs on other paper and then trace it on the butcher paper with sharpie fine point pen.All the other blocks were either just stitch as I go or I drew guides and lines on the fabric in disappearing ink.
This one is hard to see. It's stem rose buds with one leaf on each stem coming out in a circle from the center. Then scroll work in the corners.
This on is my mother favorite block.
This one is hard to see, but it's 1/4 of a flower. The center of the flower is in the bottom right corner.
I just love how this Dresden plate block turned out!
I am having so much fun trying out new designs and techniques on this quilt! But I can't wait to finish it either and move on to my son's patriotic train quilt. Six blocks left to go!
