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.

Such a fun addition to your SAHRR. Very pretty too. You definitely nailed that border!
Such tiny Dresdens! Looking great. I love that bunny embroidery. Gail at the cozy quilter
The Dresdens are perfect for your SAHRR! They look like little bows - so, so pretty!
Cool! I'm will need to adjust my size at some point to make a number that is reasonably divisible.
Your dresden plates are a great choice for this week!
These quarter dresdens are a very pretty addition to your block :)
The Dresden's are a great addition! you came up with a good idea there
You did an amazing job with the first round of SAHRR. I love the dresdens!! I'm still contemplating what to do with mine. Best get on the ball!
That is the perfect addition to your center block! Well done!!!
Woohoo! You nailed it! It’s absolutely adorable! I’m still deciding! 12” Jacob’s Ladder, and continue like a sampler quilt , or 6 “ blocks as a next round. Decisions! Decisions?
I'm not participating in the challenge, but I did look at Kathleen's post and was totally confused. I'm glad to see you and some others figured out what she meant and have adapted your blocks so you can keep to your smaller size. I think my brain is just not working well these days.

One word, Diann--sweet!!!!
Those dresden flowers are the perfect addition to your embroidery. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

The Dresdens are wonderful! And at two opposite ends enhances but doesn't overwhelm.
Oh I love it so much!! I have never thought of doing something like that with teeny dresdens!!
The little dresdens are cute!
Great choice for a "D" block. I love how you placed them at opposite ends of the row.
This is perfect Diann! As Danice said, I really like that you placed them in opposite corners as opposed to in all four. Gives it a little zing! I also think doing the two borders around the stitched piece was also the ticket!
It's so cute! The Dresden "flowers" really go well with the embroidery's design. Such a sweet touch! Great job! ;^)
Adorable!
Your bunny looks so cute with his Dresden Plates!
Very creative and that little touch adds so much! Love ut!
I was so curious how you were going to add Dresden Plates to your block - you are so clever! It looks great!
Love your block! So clever to do Dresden Plates.
You are so clever, Diann! I love your dear little Dresdens!
Super Cute!!! you had a great idea!
That's very sweet, what a great idea!
