On another blog (apologoes to the blogger, I didn't keep a note of your blog for this) I saw a neat idea - fold the bottom edge of the Dresden piece over as well, and stitch, and you've got a "double dresden", and no need for the centre circle. Real quick and easy, and very effective.pricillaprecisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00114372467276168523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686522194149883004.post-61071682932083976572012-06-17T10:58:36.351-06:002012-06-17T10:58:36.351-06:00I don't know how i missed your lovely post and...I don't know how i missed your lovely post and dresden piece but wow.....i just ordered.

The quilt pattern can be a traditional one as long as there is plenty of uncluttered space for the eye to rest.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09185472532776331210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686522194149883004.post-1900444737099385032012-06-14T21:27:19.759-06:002012-06-14T21:27:19.759-06:00I have been pondering the meaning of "modern&...I have been pondering the meaning of "modern" quilting too (even as a member of the MQG).

I think a lot has to do with the choice of fabric and use of negative space. Quilts described as modern seem to have a crisper distinction between the background and the pieced or appliqued block.<br />Having said that, I recently saw a quilt made in the 30s that could have passed for one of today's Modern quilts.<br />I love the fabrics in your Dresden plate block.KatieQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402499142649295188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686522194149883004.post-64055921795734364952012-06-12T17:23:23.403-06:002012-06-12T17:23:23.403-06:00I think its the fabric.
