Focus...

I've got several projects in the works and this week I decided none will get done unless I focus on something. So I chose my Dresden quilt and worked on coming up with a setting.
After rejecting a few ideas, I settled on this - scrappy Nine-Patch cornerstones and simple sashing.
I'm doing 12 Dresden blocks and I've only got 1 1/2 left to applique.
It's amazing how things move along when you focus!

If you're local - don't forget the quilter's garage sale at Bindings, Borders and Squares this Saturday. I've got some fabric bundles, quilt tops and finished quilts to sell. Hope to see you there!

    It was great fun to meet you and your daughter at Maisonnette in Oceanside...what a small world! Hopefully the KC and SL MQGs will get together soon!

    I absolutely love your Dresden!

    I love the bright colors! I used a similar setting for my "Bunny" quilt and it took me a loooong time to get it right but staying focused is definately the key.

    Love the setting - after seeing your initial blocks I ordered the ruler and am doing it out of hot pinks, greens and blacks - Are you doing a border or is this it.

    this is a charming quilt top. Do you remember the sizes for the sashing strips and 9 patch cornerstones?
