Dresden Plate Quilt

My 2009 winter project was making a Dresden plate quilt.  I'd never quilted before, but after discovering 1920's fabric in my grandmother's attic I was inspired to learn.  I took a free quilting class at our local church and taught myself the rest.

I set up my grandmother's wooden quilting frame in our dining room, which meant moving out all the furniture.  I was 3 months pregnant when I started and 7 months pregnant when I finished.  Needless to say, I was motivated to complete the project as quickly as possible because leaning over the loom became more challenging each day.

Here are a few pics of the progression
