The dresden plates are almost finished.  The top four just need a press before the next step.  The bottom one has a seam that was pressed a bit weird and is bugging me, so it needs fixing.  If not, it will bug me every time I look at it.  My rule of thumb is if something bugs me, it's a mistake and needs fixing.  If not, it's a design element.

Here's one on the background fabric.

These are the threads.  They're both really nice matches for the fabrics.  The orange is Coates & Clarke sewing thread.  The blue is Aurifil 50wt.
