A couple of years ago, I made a purple crazy quilt bedspread for my room. I LOVE that bedspread, but it is too warm for summer because I attached it to a very warm blanket. Great for winter but too much for summer. That is when I decided to make a Summer Spread. I remembered seeing some pre-quilted lightweight bedspreads at Bed Bath and Beyond and I decided it would be fun to dress one up with a crazy quilted Dresden plate.
A few months before this, I had spotted this great template called Fats Cats. It helps you make large Dresden plate designs quickly. After I made the Dresden plate, crazy quilted and all, I appliqued it to the pre-quilted bedspread. Such an easy and quick project. To tie it all together I folded my winter purple bedspread at the end of the bed.
I am really happy with the result! For the blog posts that I wrote when I was making my purple bedspread, go to the upper left corner of my blog, and in the search bar, put in bedspread and all the posts I wrote while making it will come up.
Talk to you later,
That big Dresden plate is lots of fun! I keep thinking I'll start a Dresden plate quilt soon. I even have the fabric, but I keep being distracted by more crazy quilts.
