Pink is the color for January 2025 and the rainbow scrap challenge.
I began this dresden plate quilt in 1987 after my daughter was born. After 2 boys, I wanted to see pink again. It was set aside for many years until a redo in 2020. I brought it out to work on it during the rainbow scrap challenge as a leader/ ender, and, I made a few rings that year. This year, I am once again adding it to the rainbow scrap challenge during the pink month. When I opened the box I found 12 rings together. I had decided that I had all the rings made in 2020. This time, I decided I would want to make 20 blocks.

I cut this year's windmill blocks. using a light gray background.
I love Dresden plates blocks. Such a great excuse to use everything. Good luck turning your blocks into a finished quilt. You are making great progress.
ReplyDeleteThe pink Dresden Plate quilt will be beautiful. And I'm glad I'm not the only one with partially finished projects lingering.
ReplyDeleteIt will be so fun to finish up that Dresden quilt. And your other projects are great!
ReplyDeleteI wrote Angela about my first quilt, a log cabin, made when my daughter started Kindergarten. It was started in 1985. I'm impressed you were making Dresden Plate blocks back then. At the rate you are finishing up quilts, I expect to see this one finished in '25.
ReplyDeleteYou will get there with your Dresden blocks, one step at a time!
ReplyDeleteLove the Dresden Plate blocks. You've definitely gotten off to a good start with RSC this year.
