Dresden-esque Heart?
 

I posted these, on another thread. Got bored, one day, so decided try creating a Dresden Heart. It's not great but maybe it'll provide a start, for someone. They need to have seam allowances added.
For the record, I drew these myself and haven't copied anyone's work. Bigger or smaller hearts can be used, in the centers.

That's lovely. The heart is to be appliqued in the center, correct? I would maybe change the rounded edges to points as they seem be easier for me to work with.

Beautiful design!

Neesie, I like your idea very much and have already made a copy of it. Thanks for your work. I couldn't draw it for the life of me! Hope I get at least one block made some day! I dont' have a bucket list. I have a TUB list. LOL Thanks again.

Oh, those are lovely! Would make a beautiful wedding gift... pillow, wall hanging, quilt...I see lots of possibilities.

Nessie, I am going to make a copy of it.
Thanks so much for doing this.

Yes, the heart would be appliqued. I looked at a regular Dresden Plate pattern and it seems the easiest way to do the rounded ends, is to connect the section sides, then applique the entire "plate", turning under the curved ends. I've never done one, so am just going by my research. . . but it doesn't sound that difficult, if the entire "plate" is then treated as a giant applique.

I have seen a pretty picture of one, with pointed ends . . . but I'm not sure it'd be easier. Seems like it'd be hard to get the angle just right. Would love to see your version, made! :)

Thanks but I can't take credit, for the idea. There was a recent post, in which several QB members were looking for a Dresden Heart pattern. Doesn't seem to be any free ones, online. Anyway, I just thought it'd be kinda fun, to make one. :)

I hope it proves to be useful. Personally, I prefer the 19-section one (the first picture).

This is a neat idea - can't wait to see it brought to life.

Me, too! You are an angel for doing this! I've been looking all over for this pattern! THANKS!!!

fantastic Idea

Cool pattern

That is wonderful, oh, very pretty. I must put this on my long To Do list.

love the heart.. I too would point my ends... just so much easier for me.... thanks for sharing!!

Thank you Neesie

Thanks Neesie. I'm making a copy too. This was wonderful of you to do for us QB Members. I've always had a problem just drawing a straight line. Thanks again...can't wait to make one up.

How neat an idea is this; I love the Dresden plate design, and love hearts- the best of both worlds - thank you for sharing!

A great idea, thanks!!

Very nice thanks for sharing!!!!

Thanks for sharing, Neesie. Now, when do we get to see the results??

Since the Dresden Plate is my favorite design, I would love to try this too! Thank you for posting your pattern!!

Great pattern, thanks for sharing! Hope to see some pics here from someone putting it to use. :)

Great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

Neesie, that is awesome! :)
I love dresdans....and have never seen one with a heart!!!

Thanks Nessie,

I made a copy of your patterns as well. Now one day when you become famous you can come back and charge me for the pattern

Thanks and Hugs

I'm so glad y'all like them. :) Enjoy! By the time I'm famous, I won't even remember I made them! :D

Good work. I have used the same general idea, but I like yours better than mine.

I just found this post, am headed to my sewing room!! Thank you for doing the math and drawing!!

This looks awesome......can't wait so see it all done up!!!!!

Saw a dresden plate with rounded ends, done I think on Sewing with Nancy and fusible was sewn on wrong side of rounded ends, trimmed to about 1/2 to 3/4 inches, turned and fused down and rest stitch in ditch This would work well for this as it would make ends easier.

Neesie, great work, love the heart

Oh, so true for me as well!
