An Updated Dresden Plate Makes a Gorgeous Quilt
This Quilt is Much Easier Than It Looks!
The oversized Dresden Plate featured on this quilt is an unexpected treat. The soft colors give it a romantic feel, while brighter colors or fabric scraps will change the look entirely without losing any of the charm.
If you’re a little intimidated by Dresden Plates, you won’t need to worry. The piecing for this quilt is really quite easy and you’ll have the top put together in no time.
If you’re a free motion quilter you’ll love all the open space to show off your skills. If not, consider outline walking foot quilting that echos the fabric pieces and the Dresden Plate shape.
