Stay at Home Round Robin - Round 1

Kathleen of Kathleen McMusing is the host for this first round, and she chose to make a border that starts with her first initial, K, and that turned out to be a block called King's Crossing.  So... my first initial is D - what quilt design starts with D? 

After hunting around online for a bit for ideas, I thought I had it.  On Quilter's Cache I found a paper-pieced block called Diamond Chain that I was going to go with, only to realize that the scale was off for the size of my center block.  I might use this one later on, so keeping it on the backburner.

Then it came to me - Dresden Plates start with D!  That sounded doable, and I have a tiny two inch Dresden wedge ruler to use for them, too.

But before making the Dresdens, I added two plain borders to my center block - a 1 inch floral and a 1.5 inch (finished) Grunge cream border.  

Right now this measures 12.5 x 13 - just a bit taller than it is wide.

I decided to make two quarter Dresdens and place them in opposite corners of my piece - like this:

And here's how the whole thing looks now:
