Thread: Dresdan Plate Pattern

I could use a helpful hint on how to do a
Dresdan Plate. Does anyone have a
pattern that's easy to use, or some
quick tips?

Any help much appreciated!!

Here is a link to a free pattern: http://www.patternsfromhistory.com/c...en-pattern.htm

Thank you for this free pattern site. I have wanted to try this pattern, but just haven't done it yet. What a good thing to use up scrap fabric.

It looks way difficult to me!!! :oops: :oops:

The pattern I use has 16 petals. I put 4 together, then square them before assembling.

I did a Dresden Plate and done some things that helped me..... here is the page I hope........it is lengthy....but may help......:-)

Here is an easy Dresden Plate. Pattern is from Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting July/August 2007

Finished quilt - allows for errors in seam allowance unlike the traditional full circle plate which requires perfect piecing.

After piecing blades, use light weight pellon to turn the top edge under.

Trim carefully not cutting stitching line
