Dresdens Anyone?

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!

    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!

    Buying fabric really does get a grip of you - I don't really sew much but love looking at fabric collections.

    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.
