I purchased a generic Dresden plate ruler at our guild yard sale. There were no instructions on the packaging, but I think I did a good job figuring it out. It didn't lie perfectly flat, but a bit of steamy pressing did the trick. 😊
Aren't those foxes adorable. I don't know the fabric -- they were a gift from a friend.
I decided to make a 16-inch pillow for a quick finish. I used Kona White and Curry. After I put the binding on, I realized I should have added more quilting.
I decided to give the front yard another try for photos, as I seem to be getting good photos there lately.
Pillows may be my new to-go project -- they are easier and quicker to make than quilts.
If you have a finish this week, consider sharing it at:
Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday @ Quilting and Learning

Hi Anja, that is a really lovely pillow. Those foxes are adorable. I read your Plus Playtime post a while back when you were having problems taking photos. I get my best results on a sunny day, but in the shade. You might want to give that a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to TGIFF!
Cushions are my go-to project. As you say, they are quick and easy to make.
ReplyDeleteThe fox fabric is perfect for this fussy cutting.
I love the foxes and the colours go so well together. Cushions or wall hangings are great for quick projects.
ReplyDeleteWow - what a fun, quick make! I did a Dresden table runner about three or four years ago and really enjoyed it. Maybe a pillow is in order. The fussy cutting is great Anja!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet way to feature the foxes! The Curry looks great with it and you clearly sorted out how to use the Dresden plate ruler. :)
ReplyDeleteI used to think I didn't like Dresden plates, but there are so many exciting ways to make them. I love this, the foxes are on a carousel. There is a nursery rhyme about foxes losing their soxes. It made me think of this.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pillow. The foxes are super cute.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great Anja. I love how you fussy cut the foxes and I love how Modern this Dresden plate looks.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love those foxes! And the mustard colour is a good match too!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the fox fabric. I am into quick projects at the moment.....instant gratification.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! What a great job of fussy cutting you did. someone will definitely enjoy this.
ReplyDeleteYou pillow looks great. I love your colour combination and the fussy cutting :)
ReplyDeleteI love Dresden Plates and you have put such a great, modern spin on yours with your fabric choices and fussy cutting Anja!

Awesome fussy cutting of those foxes. - a lovely pillow.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely pillow, Anja. Congratulations on your first Dresden Plate with sweet little foxes.
ReplyDeleteNice fussy cutting! I really really like the squared off edges of the dresden. Makes it very modern looking.
