this quilt has come to be known as mr dotty
I finished it earlier this year for a young friend who chose the design from the Material Obsession
Book
It was my first Dresden Plate quilt & the mammoth job of appliqueing took me forever .
I struggled to find an applique method using my sewing machine but
eventually it all came together with much persistence & help from Ruth ( my quilting teacher )
and the beautiful quilting by Leone Ward
I have little patience for hand sewing
:(
The recipient loved it so much she themed her wedding around the colours
