I officially started a new project this week but I've been collecting the fabrics for a long time. I have a retreat planned and this is going to be my project for it. Today, I finished cutting the plate fabrics out.
Yes, this is a Dresden Plate! I plan on 16 blocks, all in blues on white Kona Snow with blue borders.
There are 56 different blue fabrics. Whoops! I am NOT done cutting...I still have to cut the white fabric! Once I get the white cut, I still need to sew the backing fabric for En Provence.
I found this pink and purple Paris fabric at Hobby Lobby a couple months ago and dithered. When I went back to see if they still had it for sale I found it in the clearance bin, an entire bolt!
While I was busy playing with fabrics, Dash went for a ride on the motorcycle. He stopped by Pops and got me six different sodas. I don't drink soda as a rule but I do like a treat every now and again. I think I'll try the peach one first!
Thank you for visiting my blog today!

Looking forward to seeing your Dresden plate design in all those blues.
Nice backing fabric,even better it was a bargain price.
Love that Paris fabric. Looking forward to seeing your quilt with the mountain of blues.
That will give you some energy for sewing.... how cute
Love the Dresden pattern. so many possibilities. Looking forward to seeing your project.
I love the Paris fabric! So pretty! And your new quilt already sounds like it will be stunning. I also am not much of a soda, or pop as we call it here, but I do like it as a treat every now and then and peach soda/pop sounds yummy!
Really looking forward to seeing your next project. The blue fabric is pretty. I love soda but don't drink it regularly any more. I love it as a treat every now and then and peach sounds very yummy!
I love the blue and white color choice, it's going to be beautiful!
Buying fabric really does get a grip of you - I don't really sew much but love looking at fabric collections.
Dresden plate up next? I am in awe.
Are you going to piece a backing for En Provence? The Parisian fabric would be lovely on it. A whole bolt in clearance! What fortune for you.
Oh my, the blue and white dresden is going to be gorgeous!
