Dresden plate

This is my first dresdon plate design quilt for my Grandaughter at university

I have cut out the squares 12". Dresden plate to be in the centre.

I dont want too many blades ( is that correct).

How many blades are acceptable and how big.

This is brilliant having my friends on this Forum to ask, being a novice.

Thank you

Hi Patricia

There are lots of patterns for dresden plate, and they all have a different number of blades really.

Tickled Pink This one is for 12in finished size blocks on a 12.5 in square, and has twenty blades in each, plate. It was in PP feb last year.

There are also lots of rulers you can buy to help too

I love Dresden Plates. I have a box of them (15 I think). Made them from Liberty scraps Jan and I bought many, many years ago. Must find them and put them together (when I have finished a few more important things).

This week I made a Dresden plate pin cushion from scraps left over from a quilt I have made. It's five inches square and is a present for a friend for her new craft room. Welcome Patricia. Irene

Like the pin cushion what a good idea.

Great idea for a pin cushion 👍🏻. Pam I've had a look at your album and I love your elephant 👏🏻.

Hi Patricia, this is a bad photo of one i made on Sunday with 12 blades. This is very easy to put together and would fit on your 12in blocks
