Lovely Dresdens
A little while ago I saw on the Bunny Hill blog about her Scrappy Plate Club. I've always wanted to make some Dresden plates...I even had the Dresden plate tool I needed. So I thought that maybe now was the time to finally jump right in. I decided to make my quilt smaller, so I got out two charm packs and started cutting and this is what I ended up with. OK...I admit that this isn't all that lovely yet, and it really doesn't look much like a Dresden plate either. But the fabric is Lovely by Sandy Gervais for Moda and this (and five more like it) will become Dresden plates eventually. I can't wait to start sewing these together! :0)

Dresdens are fun and I know these are going to be cute!
I love the fabrics that you are working with! I have the ruler too, but that's as far as I have gotten! Too many projects and not nearly enough time!
That is a good start on the Dresden Plate. Pretty colors too.
pretty fabrics...I want to make this too
Hi Terry--
I also have joined in the scrappy plate--and stitched one together with a template I had on hand--it came out 23" across--one big plate!!!
so I got the right ruler today and now will be busy frogging!!!
love your colors--can't wait to see some of the blocks done up--
Have fun--
Hugs, Di
Dresden, house and is that another quilt I see in the previous post??? You are going to be a busy girl....
Love your choice of colors! I probably have that ruler too, but doubt I will ever use it.
I love your fabrics, Terry. Can't wait to see your progress.
Dresdens scare me. So here you go...showing off again. Just kidding!
I am always in awe of your skills, you do an awesome job. Can't wait to see this one progress.
Happy Tuesday!
gorgeous colours Terry ! cheers Teri
What pretty fabrics! This will be another winner, Terry!
Very nice,like you fabric choice. I'm going to do the Dresden Plate also. I hadn't thought about using charm packs, good idea. I got in too late to do the little houses.
It looks like fun
I am working on a Dresden plate too. Your fabrics are lovely. Can't wait to see some more plates.
I started making a dresden plate and put it all aside. Love the colors in yours. Please show it off when you are finished. :)
The colors are wonderful! have a great day!!
Isn't that funny, I must have known something in the air because I bought a dresden plate ruler just recently EZ Quilting, Easy Dresden 8" ruler. They are such fun blocks to make and I just love Sand Gervais fabrics! Oh boy! another distraction, LOL!!! wish I didn't have to sleep or work LOL! I'd be sewing 24/7!!!!!
Dresdens seem to really be "in" right now. I love them and I love your fabrics.
Lovely combination of colors on your Dresden Plate. I think your green stitching of houses are great,for a wall-hanging, I suppose:-)
Dresden plates are so fun to make! Love the fabrics you are working with.
