Playful Scrappy Dresdan Summer Quilt

Scraps put on white background. Flannel is used for batting. Sent this to a friends home to be quilted, she wanted something to "play" with and I suggested this top. It didn't make any difference to me, it was just for the camper. She had it 5 months and only had 3 blocks partially done. I really needed it when the 5 months were up. so I brought it home and quickly finished it. I have used it in the camper and on our bed in the house. Has been washed several times already. Oh, forgot..I used scrappy back. Some blocks that I had started but didn't know what to do with. So I used them for the backing on this. Now they have a purpose. I had to add a wider border of a plain fabric to make it large enough to fit the top.

Dresdan and Purple Butterflies

Cream colored background with scrappy purple flowers. I was told to make this quilt by this quilt. Does that make sense?? It does for me. I'm not a purple person. As soon as this quilt was done, that"make a purple quilt" feeling went away! I make a cover to put the quilts in when not in use, like a "dust" cover. I used purple thread to quilt the Butterflies and other areas of the top.
