At the end of the day, I just decided that this quilt was TOO small to NOT finish.  So… I finished it.

Overall, I’m not sure if I love it.  It’s definitely growing on me, though.  It has a sort of FUNKY going on that I do really like.  I don’t even notice the lop-sided points.  They aren’t nearly as prominent as I first thought they’d be.

I ended up quilting flower petal type arches in the Dresden wedges with a variegated rust thread, Sulky Blendable.  Then I meandered with a Mettler variegated Grey-Smoke-White thread all over the rockin’ plaid background.   The bobbin thread is some crazy pink polyester cone I purchased in Korea.

I made a crazy zig zag grid of quilting over the flower center.

And as promised, I used pink on the back and for the binding.  It finished exactly 15″ square.

I can now cross “give Dresden Plate a try” off my bucket list.   =)

   Wow that came out great. I love the detail in the corner with the partial Dresden.
