I made the most beautiful Dresden plate quilt from the pattern above: It was just so easy to do, in fact I teach all my newbies to make one as a cushion or pillow sham. |
Oooooooooh, your quilt is beautiful. I love it. I'd like to try this also. Thanks for sharing.
|
I think that poplin is a bit heavy for this project...might try inexpensive muslin.
|
the dresend plates are very pretty I'm going to try one with the points hopefully this year.
|
I use the poplin method but use some old cotton like a sheet but sew around it with wash away thread in your bobbin. Slit the middle of the poplin and turn the block right side out. When you have it right side out and how you want it. Use a steam iron and press it well. The was away thread will disappear, your edges are turned under and you can pull the poplin off. I use this method with numerous appliques. Works wonderful.

I used this method on the table topper pictured - after fusing to the checker-board base I used the blanket stitch on my machine to finish the edges - very easy! [ATTACH=CONFIG]345198[/ATTACH] |

Instead of poplin use NON woven interfacing with one fusible side. Sew the fusible side to the front side of your plate with about 1/8" seam, then slit the interfacing and turn right side out. Then fuse the plate to your square. If you choose you can cut away the extra interfacing so you just have it on the edge for less stiffness. It's a snap.
Good luck |
Chester your quilt is very pretty. You used the method I am going to use on mine. Glad to hear you are happy with that method.
