Dresden Plate, Take Two

I got a second Dresden plate done this week, this time with all contemporary fabric, no vintage. I am thinking I'll make two throw pillows. My daughter volunteered to give them a good home (hers) when they're completed. She also suggested a corded edge, which would be lovely, but I don't think it's going to happen. What may happen, though, is a zipper closure. I've never done one on a pillow before, but it seems like a handy thing to have, and would make it easier to remove for cleaning or if she wants to switch to something else down the road.

Pardon the skewed colors. I had to take pictures inside; it's rainy and cloudy today, so the colors don't look quite right. The green is less pea soupy or lime infused in natural light, as seen here.

There are enough cut pieces remaining for one more scrappy Dresden, the fate of which is undetermined at this point. A table mat, maybe? A mini-quilt or doll quilt? Other ideas?

I'm linking to Kristen at So Happy, host of the Dresden Plate Sew-Along. She's got a great tutorial going on over there. Check it out!
