Dresden Plate blocks for quilt.

I've made 50 blocks for this quilt.  It's called "Dresdren Plate but is a variation, as the blades, or "petals" are usually bigger and the center circle is smaller.  I took a bunch of pictures off Pinterest and drew them out onto cloth and then embroidered them.  the second picture is one I had of Val's kids when they were little, braving the waves at the Jersey Shore.  The blocks are quilted and I will join them using "QAYG" method - Quilt as you go.  It ends up looking like blocks with sashing between.  Quilting an entire quilt is hard but quilting each block separately and then joining them is time consuming, but the quilting is not as hard.    

 

Jill and daughter at the same age.

 I don't know if I Facebooked these pictures but I had to post them again.  Can you see the same face? The bottom pict is Jill in our Mt. Prospect, Ill house.   When Jill sent the pict a few  years ago, I knew I had the "same" picture.  Jill's daughter is doing the hand sign for "more please"  so cute!!  She is now 10  years old.
