I’ve always wanted to try a Dresden Plate block, and this is my first attempt. Not too shabby for a first effort, but, uh, room for improvement with that centre circle placement! Ah well — trying new things and improving is what this quilt is all about.
There are a few different types of Dresden Plate block: the most intriguingly different from this are blocks with no centre (ooo hard, no room for fudging!) and those with round petals rather than blades. They’re going on the list.
Patches in this block: 18
Patches so far: 977

I just found your blog Ann – very inspirational! I work at SLV too – we should have coffee! I’m overseas at the moment but I can email you when I get back

It looks good. This design makes me think of men’s ties.

Hi I have a 15″ block pre-cut and have 16 blades to fit on it and need a template. Can you help me out here? Thanks
