April First Saturday Blocks

I mentioned in my March goals report that I didn't have the blocks done for April for my First Saturday group. Well, that's been rectified, they're done now.

Only two more Dresden blocks and three more checkerboard blocks to go!

I'll look for a bronze solid or very subtle print for the Dresden centers when I'm in Paducah later this month. I want something that's not gold and not tan, but somewhere in between, a camel or ochre shade. It needs to be lighter in value than the reds but not as light as the backgrounds. I'm sure I'll find something there.

  3. The blocks look great. I am really a Dresden lover. I like that you did not use one solid piece for the background.

  9. Bronze will look so pretty in those centers. Your Dresden is beautifully done. I'm quilting a vintage Dresden right now, and it interests me that she did 19 blades in hers. I wonder if she just did that, or if it was a correction of mis-cut 20 blades, as the 5" centers are somewhat wonky. I love vintage quilts!
