This blog references a Missouri Star tutorial, so you might want to look there, too. http://stitchnsing.blogspot.com/2012...den-plate.html
This one uses a pieced wedge; you would just ignore that for the look you are after: http://lurlineg.blogspot.com/2009/12...-tutorial.html
There's a tutorial right in the tutes section! Not necessarily for a placemat, but for the Dresden Plate: http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...al-t80596.html

You don't really need a pattern, you just need a Dresden ruler, or make your own template. A circle is appliqued over the center opening. The Dresdens are sewn together, then appliqued onto a whole cloth. There are many youtube videos and free directions on making Dresden's out on the internet.
To make it reversible, just make the 2 Dresdens with the same template or ruler. Then put good side to good side, you are looking at the seams on the top and the bottom, sew around the outside edge, turn the Dresden's inside out and add your 2 center circles. I would probably hand applique the center circles on.
I like the idea and concept. I think I will make a bigger template or use the GO cutter die and make some of these for my table. Oh no....another project to add to the 100+ that I already have. I wonder how long I have to live to finish everything I want to do.

Someone use to sell them here on the QB. I thought I had seen a pattern before on eBay but nothing but the normal quilts were there. It is not difficult to make the size you want if you know the ins and outs of making a Dresden Plate. You might check if your local library has any books on this pattern. At least THEY are still free.

I believe these were sold on a etsy site, but she doesn't have any right now. It's Cache Creek Quilts. She also has a Facebook business page and a blog, but I didn't see a current offering on this design. It does look like a quilt block-- enlarged to 25" for one specially made--and backed with another. very pretty. Could be made with an enlarged dresden plate designs as others stated.
