I will hand piece and hand quilt this Dresden in order to frame it as a single block.
Wish me luck please.
This will be my first completely handmade project, which will mean I will have to learn how to appliqué also!!!!!

Good luck with that. I have done many Dresdens and always PP them. FYI, I got a bunch of blades and unfinished blocks at a yard sale from a very experienced quilter who measured carefully and pieced, but got each blade slightly off, with predictable consequences. I ram rodded a Dresden opportunity quilt. All the more experienced quilters said it would be too difficult, but found it easy with PPing.
I wish you wonderful results.

Good Luck. The only prominent quilter that I know of who still does hand piecing is Jinny Beyer. You might want to look at any of her videos to make sure you know all the tricks to make the block perfect.
