Strip-pieced Dresden wedges come together to make a fun Dresden Plate quilt. Fat wedges mean you need fewer of them, so the plates go together much more quickly than you’d think.

Notice the star shape in the center of each of the Dresden Plates – and the two-color theme. This wonderful design makes a beautiful quilt you’ll enjoy for many years to come.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!




PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources.
