Did you make a center for these plates? Or did you just lay the pieces to the plate on top of that background fabric? This is a beautiful quilt by the way ❤️

Wonderful finish…I love Dresdens but have yet to do one. Your Christmas fabrics look great and the recipient will love it.

Wow, what a perfect Christmas quilt, the Dresden's really make it look like a wreath, and you’re right, the border fabric is divine, stunning.

That is the perfect border fabric. And I love the subtle print for the background rather than the usual plain white.

I love the star centers on your "wreaths" and you are correct, the background is perfect. Do you intend to gift before the holidays so your recipient can enjoy it throughout?

I love your Dresden! The fabrics for the plates, the background fabric and yes especially the border are all perfect for this quilt. A lovely gift someone will be proud to receive. Beautiful!

Thank you ladies for the comments. I used a wedge template from Me and My Sister. Both ends of the blades are finished before sewing them together. This gives a finished plate to be applied to the background.

What a beautiful Christmas quilt. I never thought of using Dresden Plate for a Christmas quilt and I love the colors you chose.
