Jumbo Dresden Plate Table Topper

I made a super sized Dresden Plate table topper for our kitchen table. I wanted to make it scrappy in batik fabrics, but needed a large enough piece of fabric to make 2 blades in each fabric, so only a few fabrics actually came from the scrap bag. I love how it turned out and Mr. P. says it's his favorite topper ever! It went together fairly quickly too. I free formed quilted it.

This would also be a great size for a Christmas tree skirt.

This is large and hard to photograph on the table because I cannot get a good enough photo on the table, so I tossed it on the rocks on the side of the house.

The center I appliqued down with a blanket stitch and then drew 2 circles to stitch with decorative stitches in the center. The center fabric is a royal purple, but looks more blue here because purple just doesn't photograph well. 

Here the center did photograph more purple.

Placing this on a white background helped bring out the truer colors.

I used a variegated thread to quilt this. The quilting shows up more on some fabrics than others.
