I wanted to try out a new block, the Dresden Plate (WIP). I think they are beautiful, but way time consuming. I don't think I would have the patience to do an entire quilt, so I will either make this into a wall hanging, pillow sham, or an accent pillow.

You did a great job!

thanks! :D

I just bought the ruler and want to try it. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours.

It's beautiful
Would love to see a whole quilt of them

I am looking forward to making a queen size for my daughter as soon as I purchase a ruler.
Yours looks great. Continue on and make a runner.

very nice

It is very pretty, whichever you decide on.

I just did 12 for the block swap here- it was a real learning experience :oops: Yours looks great :thumbup:

Love your colors, please do not give up, a quilt would be great

Nice job. It would look nice at a pillow or wall hanging.

This is on my to do list. It would make a wonderful pillow.

Your block is beautiful. Don't be in a hurry to mark it off your list.

thanks for all the lovely comments. :D

Very pretty

Its very nice.

That is beautiful. Oh, make a quilt, because with great blocks like that it would really be beautiful. If you are just learning, you did a better job than I could and I have done some before. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful job.

great job its pretty

Very pretty. I like the colors, and think it would make a really pretty pillow.

Great job. Don't give up yet. Don't work it all at the same time. Do a little here and a little there. Before you know it you will have the quilt.

Great job.

you did a wonderful job.

You did a great job on your Dresden. Neat colors.

You did a great job. I did 6 and made a baby quilt. It's my new favorite.

Good job and so pretty keep going..

That is really good for the first time. I want one for my Cal-King bed, but can't seems to find the ruler. Yours' look good. On my to-do-list soon.

That's too pretty to stop at one! I love the Dresden Plate. I have one on my bed that my mother made.

Great job! I agree that they are time consuming, but beautiful!

Very pretty!

Beautiful!

Have you checked out Ricky Timms (sp) method of making the points on the Dresden Plate petals? So simple and so quick. No raw edges which have to be turned under.

Your Plate is beautiful. I just finished doing 12 for a King Size coverlet for my bed. My trouble is with the measuring for the block, sashing, etc. I want a drop of three inches below the mattress so I can use it with a bed skirt. I also love the tool! I would have never attempted this without it.

Pretty! Pretty! Love the Dresden!!! Great job...

:thumbup: :thumbup: ;) ;)

Very nice! It would make a lovely wallhanging or pillow!

Such a lovely block!

It is beautiful. yes they are time consuming

Very pretty.

If you love the Dresden Pattern, you should try to find Anelie Belden's book, "Thoroughly Modern Dresden." She has developed an easy way to make the Dresden Plate shapes. On a side note, she is a member of the guild I belong to, a very sweet woman.

I think this would make a great wall hanging or even a table center piece/runner :)
