Boy, I have a lot of catching-up to do, quilt-blog-wise.
This vintage Dresden Plate was quilted back in mid September. I love vintage quilts - never met one I didn't fall head over heels for.
There were a couple of blocks made with new fabric, just to get a useable size of quilt.
Yes, those plates are a little wonky. The centers aren't round. The plates aren't centered. But it is so pretty! As requested by the owner, there is not too much quilting here. Stitch-in-the-ditch around sashings, and inside & outside the plates. Loopies inside the wedges, and motifs both in the corners and in the centers.
Pretty, pretty on the back.
French floors as related to quilts:
1) Chevron.
2) Square in a Square.
3) Checkerboard Border - reminds me of Courthouse Steps.
ZUCCHINI REPORT
What the hell? How can I be doing a zucchini report in November? Well I got sidetracked and never finished back in September.
When I was in France, there was zero chance that DH was going to pick zucchinis. So when I got home... guess what? Eleven more. And a couple of them were, not surprisingly, pretty large.
Picked end of season: 11
Picked YTD: 127
Today's plan for supper is to make a big pot of vegetable soup and a Butternut Squash Tart With Fried Sage. Some of that zucchini is coming out of the freezer and jumping into the soup pot.
