I am new the the forum. I have been looking and reading for a couple of weeks now. I am planning on doing a Dresden Plate quilt. I had seen a tutorial on using different fabrics for the different pieces of the plate. The thing is they did not make it pointed or curved. Like they used the pieces you would use for the pointed spokes, but did not make them pointed. Then they stitched it on the background fabric and then cut out the back of the background fabric and turned it inside out so it would be attached, but not appliqued. I have been looking now for a couple of weeks trying to find it. I don't know if it was here I found the link, or somewhere else. I thought maybe if I asked here someone might know the link I was looking for. Thank you for letting me join your list. I am not near as talented as the pictures I have seen, but do enjoy quilting especially for my family.

I never did a dresden plate but welcome from NJ. I am not as talented as most on this board either but we are our own worst critics!

I've done some Dresden Plates, but not the way you are describing. Hard to visualizes what you mean. Hopefully someone on the board will recognize it. I'll sure be watching because it sounds interesting.

A big welcome from East Texas. I am not even close to being an accomplished quilter but I sure am having a lot of fun trying to learn. I have learned so much from my new family, here on this board and continue to learn something new almost every day. You are going to love it here.

I know what u are talking about, but haven't seen anything about it...
I would assume u stitch right sides together around other edge of dresden..... then cut the backing ( behind the plates) and turn it like u would a pillowcase. Add the center, and u would be basically covering up the hole.? I"ll have to research for this link... sure would be easy to get nice turned under appiqued look to it with out the hassles...

Welcome from Missouri. Check out the tute on youtube or the Missouri Star Quilt.

I'm pretty new to quiting myself but have had a lot of help from here.
I have just made a dresden plate myself and used a template from a book but looked at several tutes on Youtube. It was pretty easy once I looked at them. Hope you enjoy making it as much as I did. |
Could this be what you are looking for?

Well come to the board from Pennsylvania.
I have made 2 dresden plate quilts. Both of them were with rounded edges. The first one I made I turned under a 1/4 inch on the edges and appliqued them to the blocks. I didn't cut away the fabric that was behind the plate. The second dreden I did a little differently. It too had rounded edges. I placed a piece of fuseable webbing sticky side facing the right side of the plate. I stitched around the plate 1/4 inch. I then cut a slice from the middle and turned them right side out. The next step was to iron the plates to the background. I did a heavy blanket stitch using #12 Sulky cotton thread to give it a hand stitched look. Hope this helps. Peace and Blessings |

I have several DP finished just waiting for a quilt to go on. |

I am working on the Dresden Plate now and using batiks. Mine are the pointed spikes. Am not using any type of backing but am appliqueing (sp) them using invisible thread and very tiny blind hem stitch on the machine. It's working out fine. And welcome to the QB. You'll get the help you need, I promise. Marge L. Peace and Blessings |
