I am in the planning stages of a new quilt for one of my granddaughters who loves mushrooms and I found this adorable pattern designed by Jina Barney of Poppie Cotton named, Mushroom Buttons. The fabric was designed by Jill and Rani of Poppie Cotton and is called Mushroom Blooms. The pattern includes making a dresden plate times 20. I have never made one of these, so I felt like I needed to do a sample version first before diving in on this one as to avoid having issues down the road.

For the sample version, I chose some Lori Holt fabrics from my stash. I picked 4 different designs to make the dresden with and coordinating colors for everything else. Most of these are from the Bee Vintage collection.

Another first was using my Juki TL2010Q to free motion the quilting. I didn't want to quilt over the dresden itself, so I just free motioned in the white space. For a first timer, I think it turned out okay. I admit me and jack spent a lot of time pulling out seams and trying again.
