Mill House Inn Quilt with Dresden plates

Another beautiful quilt that I completed this year


This design of this quilt and the fabrics are by Fig Tree Quilts, the fabric collection is called Mill House Inn. This is the first quilt design and fabric that I bought solely online from the US, I just loved the fabrics so much that I had to have them and the pattern as well. It was worth the time and effort in getting this done. My wonderful sister assisted me with the applique as I was still new to quilting and I was not sure how I'd go appliqueing so many dresden plates, so I did one and Kia did 11. Funny thing is though you can't see which one I've done from all of them...

I love the colours, the way they are laid out and it was not so difficult to sew. Would definitely make this again for someone else in the future if they want one.


Up close of the pattern and the wonderful quilting done by Donna from Boutique Quilting. Once again I wanted a quilting pattern similar to the dresden plates and Donna was able to assist in the all over pattern, it really looks wonderful on the quilt. I actually have this quilt on my bed.
