Dare to Dresden Blog Hop

Let's just say when the opportunity arose to join in the Dare to Dresden Hop, I absolutely jumped at the chance.  I began quilting a little less than a year ago and the Dresden was the second project that I had ever tried.  I have been enamored with them ever since.  Here are two that I have finished in my quilty year. 

Both are pretty traditional Dresdens, but I always consider these hops a growth moment.  To push you to try something completely different than anything that you have done before.  I have never tried anything Modern, or used just solid colors.  I love the look, but it is a little intimidating.  There was no time but the present to test it out. 
And this is what I came up with.....
