Les Assiettes de Dresde
Here is my second patchwok : 220 cms out of 220 cms. A large one.... More than one year to work on, but, at this time, without a true assiduity. I stayed a few months without working on it. I would finish it out today in less than one year.
It is a great classic of the 1930's. It represents china plates made in Dresde (Germany).
This patchwork joins together two types of work :
"piécé" (association by the sewing of pieces of fabrics) "appliqué" (fabric sewn by invisible stitches on top of another part) ; it is then all quilted together.
It is a very long work, a laborious task, but a result which I like so much.
Splendid as a bed spread. (See photograph n°5)
The basic block (Photo n°4) consists of a crown of twenty petals sewn together and applied to the green heart even already applied on a beige background. The blocks are then bound together and framed by a band of green fabric.
An edge of quincuncial triangles is added on the circumference.
Then the different parts are quilted together.Here the quilting is important, it is very tight.
