Description: Dresden Plate spring flowers and leaves.
We will be using the block pattern Dresden Plate from Quilterscache.com. Here is the link.

http://quilterscache.com/D/DresdenPlateBlock.html

Make 12 blocks alike, you will receive one of yours back and 11 different blocks.

Please mark EACH ONE of your blocks with a little slip of paper pinned to each block, or a sticky label can be used, please put the label on the back as sometimes some of the 'sticky' adhears to the block itself. Or you may write in somewhere that it will not bleed through with a permanent thin pigma pen. Please include your real name AND Board name.

You may send them to me any way you wish, just make sure you have a return ADDRESS label and a Flat Rate Stamp ($4.95) for the returning blocks. You do not need to send an envelope. I have ordered padded FRE for your return swapped blocks. Sign-up will close on MAY 31. PM me if you wish to join.

Blocks due to me by June 30. Because of problems with the deadlines in other swaps, if there is going to be a problem with having them here by June 30, please pm me. You also have the option of dropping out of the swap. It is not fair for those who do honor the deadline to be waiting and waiting and waiting.
In accordance with general swap rules, failure to send promised BLOCKS will be reported in both the public column of the group activity matrix and as negative feedback against the profile of anyone who does not fulfill their commitment to the swap.

If you want to make multiple sets, just make sure you have 12 blocks of each SET design. You will receive back as many sets as you send. The flat rate bubble envelope will hold two/theee sets. Any more than that, you will need another flat rate return address label and stamp.

I will post a tutorial and post a pic of my block later on. Please note - even though the plate shows the rounded edge, we will be folding the ends to make the point.

This will be the first in a two part Dresden plate swap. This first will be flowers of spring - you may use any spring time colors for your petals. I do ask that your background be white, or beige or even pale yellow if you prefer. We will be appliqueing leaves on our flowers. In June, I will open up the second swap, Flowers that Brighten our Fall FaLa, FaLa - which will be fall flower colors, same pattern. You may join in one or both!
