That's a good name, Jean. Pumpkin topper going to look nice with black blanket stitch and you would not have noticed hiccup untill you pointed it out

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks Jed...I eventually used a wide long orange blanket stitch to add a bit of punch:)

[@marieeaton-smith5168]

That was fun Jean! I have made 3 QAYG quilts, (not enough space). I made and quilted all the blocks first, then joined them all together using sashing strips on the front and back. It was very handy, because I did not have enough fabric for the backing in one piece, so it ended up as a checkerboard backing. I liked them all very much. Very fiddly getting my head around the sashing bit!

Hi Jean. This is fabulous and a great tutorial in initiative! 😄 . Maybe drawing the finished patterns first onto your brown felt in the circle ⭕️ would show us the mystery? Thanks for showing us the process💕

Cool! It was so much fun! And a lot of 'look' for not a lot of work!:)

[@faithmoore8903]

Jean Truelove I thought it was so much harder. Nice surprise.

[@robinaruzza2128]

The colors are absolutely stunning! I have no idea what happened other than we'll blame it on the felt. I wonder in this case, if using a scant quarter inch would work?😀

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

YES!! The felt is the culprit!! It's all about that darned felt!! LOL! LOL! I TRIED the scant quarter...but the difference I was out was about TWO INCHES!!! Hmmmmmmm

[@candacekerr4139]

I love that! Felt! What a great idea!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I love felt....I have used it other ways also! :)

[@carollatham926]

I had to use 21 blades on my first Dresden. Then I found out that you need to square up each quadrant (5 Blade), then it lies flat. Never tried a quilt as you go with one.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Funny that....I have made about 6 quilts using this exact same ruler/template (Dresden Plate thing) and have ALWAYS had the 20 fit perfectly!! What the heck happened here?!?! LOL!

[@angelikaimnaehglueck]

Oh, i happen to be the first today - great You made a big experiment - just what i like in videos. ;-)

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

A BIG experiment!! I like that! :)

[@holder8632]

I just finished the table topper. I said to heck with it & did a deco stitch on each stitch line. Looks great. Thanks!!

[@julioagudelo3945]

superrrrr.

[@janicecroft2304]

Looks great. I think the center circle needs to be slightly smaller. You may need to press or mark your 1/4" first. A bit labour intensive but more accurate.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Aw yes....where were you when I needed you!?!?!?!?!? LOL! LOL!

[@bettyking6912]

Love it! Could you use velvet in place of felt for the purpose of washing???

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Hmmmmmmmmmm.....can you even wash Velvet!?!? WHy not give it a try?!?!

[@joanneocchiuzzo9662]

Jean the felt is shrinking because there is too much pressure on the foot , and a longer stitch might help...Joanne

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you Joanne!! I've never worked with felt before (I'm a quilter with cotton, through and through LOL)!! No wonder why it 'shrunk'!!! LOL!

[@sarab1987]

Good idea! Maybe you could have made a stem and turned it into a flower like you said it looked like:)

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

That would be cool

[@sandythomas9622]

Looks great. What if you unstitched the last one and made it wider?

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I sort of tried...but there just wasnt' enough to make up the entire blade width..and so the added bit:)

[@andraebanks]

I can't find the video when you said you don't use the supreme slider when free motion quilting. I think you said you spray something on the sewing machine. If I remembered correctly, what is it that you spray?

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Yea, I long time ago I think I used the silicone spray "Blaster" ~ either from Lowes or HOme Depot (In USA). I didn't use an actual expensive supreme slider, but a less expensive version of.....didn't really like it. My machine bed is slippery enough I find.

[@andraebanks]

@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory Thanks!

[@andraebanks]

I forgot to say it worked and thanks!!!!

[@marytillman372]

I had to add a blade to my last Dresden plate also. Used a 1/4 inch piecing foot. I don’t know what happened. I am trying to figure out how to finish a Dresden plate like that that could be washed. I put a circular back on it but it did not quite cover the raw edges on the back of the blades. Does anyone have any ideas?

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

So you pieced the dresden plate and then put it (appliqued it?) onto a backing fabric? If you blanket stitch the points around the edges of the plate you will not have any raw edges. Does that make any sense?

[@reanazwarick5278]

I used flannel (could have used fleece) so mine is washable

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Good idea!!! You go, Reana!:)

[@cathybowles3930]

your sewing a 1/4 inch seam but you didn't take into account that when you fold over the blade your loosing another 1/4 inch from just flipping it over,not sure if i am explaining it to where you are understanding me i know what i'm trying to say but having a hard time explaining it lol
