Basically they are Dresden plates. I made my own pattern, because she wants the centerpieces to be large. These will be about 22 inches across. She chose the fabrics and I just love how they are coming together!
The next step is to layer them upside down on white muslin and sew around the outside. Then turn them right side out thru the center and press. Then hand-applique the center circle using Christmas fabrics. Then I will hand-quilt along the seams of the wedges.
I am making a few extra, so I have a few to give away and/or sell, also... :o)Thanks for visiting!
