I love to look at antique quilts for inspiration and it often surprises me how "modern” they are. We perceive antique quilts to be traditional and dull coloured, but the more I look the more I find that would be wild even by today’s standards. This quilt was inspired by an antique quilt I saw somewhere, which incorporated Dresden plates with red circles between them. I loved the repetition of the appliquéd circles, the circles created by the plates, and the circles created by the space within the plates. Why not take circles to the max and add spots?
Of course, you can make your Dresden spotty or not, according to your whims!
