dresden and zippers

Pink is the color for January 2025 and the rainbow scrap challenge.  

I have my pink dresdens with me in Florida. I added 80s fabrics to my project in 2018. I took the time to sort the fabric in the bucket and narrow my choices, as I work to make progress on this old ufo for the rainbow scrap challenge. I cut strips from all the fabrics.

I had a chance to cut the wedges before moving on with other rsc projects



I reopened the zipper ufo box and pulled all the blocks with pink. I want to add different color blocks to them as we move through the year. I made the zipper blocks for the rainbow scrap challenge in 2022.

  3. Your dresdens are going to be great! And you've got tons of zippers done-there's a quilt coming soon, I'm sure!

  5. Clearly you have a great head start on both of your revived RSC projects. I've always loved Dresden Plates, probably because growing up I had a Dresden Plate quilt on my bed. I think it was made by my paternal grandmother. Not positive about that. Unfortunately, I never saw it after my primary school days.I know it wasn't part of my parents estate.

  6. Thanks to the links to your progression on the Dresden project. Every little bit you work on it helps it "zip" along like the fun Zipper blocks!

  7. Dresdens are lovely, and fun to make. I made a Dresden plate quilt for my mother in law from 1980s pinks and blues. Lots of great zipper blocks, that will be a fun quilt!

  8. The pinks will be a lovely addition to the Dresden plate collection. Quite a contrast from the zipper blocks which are so whimsical and fun
