I was all worried that I didn’t have a quilt to share for the Blogger’s Quilt Festival this time around. I know it doesn’t have to be a new quilt, but I always worry that I’m being boring showing the same quilt more than once. But, somewhere in the back of my head, I managed to remember that I had held off posting about Sofiya’s Dresden Plate Quilt when I finished it in January. It was being presented at our church and I wanted to keep it a bit of surprise, but then I just forgot after it was presented, so there we go, a new quilt, rediscovered, just in time for the BQF.
Sofiya’s Dredsen was made for the latest baby born at my North Carolina Church. For a little of around 50, they kept me busy with six baby quilts last year. I’ve had a little break now, but we’ve got three more coming up now. My North Carolina Church has been so supportive of me as a quilter and as a person, even though I’m now back in Pennsylvania, so making each of their quilts is really special to me.
The back
And the quilting
