January UFO results

Here are the Dresdens!!!  I didn't get them tacked down to a backing, but I'm probably going to sew them to a wide piece of fabric since I opted for a single color.  So, here are the plates!

I'm so in love with these blocks it's not even funny.  I often oogle them just because they're so gorgeous.

Here are only some of my finished dresden plates.  All the Bliss ones have been completed and I'm taking a break from working on the Ruby ones.  In case you're wondering, I got 12 complete plates with some leftover petals from 2 charm packs.

so pretty!

I'm really excited to see this come together!  The hard part is trying to find a suitable color for the background that matches both Bliss and Ruby, right now I'm kinda leaning toward Kona Bone, but still unsure of it since it's an off white and Bliss and Ruby have stark whites.  I'm going to stop at a mega JoAnn later today to try and find a match.

Caught the Dresden bug!  My LQS ordered the EZ Dresden ruler for me so I'm just waiting on that to come in.  Going to be using a wee bit of this:
