I'm trying to use my scraps up in the process. I might have made a small dent putting these dresdin plates together. Seems like a lot of us are doing dresdin's lately, but they are really pretty. The other ones I've made lately have the pointed pieces so I wanted to do the curved ones this time. I used old dryer sheets for the lining to make the ends turn under.

Very pretty! Love the fabrics you are using. :)

That's really nice, I eventually want to do a dresden someday, I have alot of scraps too.

Very Nice:)

Very pretty block!! Love the scrappy look

Very pretty

Very pretty block.

It is lovely....great fabrics and really pretty colours. This will make a beautiful quilt.

It's a great idea for "scrap" quilting! What a pretty quilt it's going to be! :-)

Beautiful!

Very beautiful beginning.

Love a scrappy dresden!

" I used old dryer sheets for the lining to make the ends turn under"

I'm interested in this technique..... I've often wondered how to make the rounded ends of the dresdens smoothly....

Can anyone explain how to use the dryer sheet to do the ends of the dresden plate
.

Love your dresden, I have to try it one day.

That is very pretty

Great use of scraps!

Very nice and bright !!

Very pretty! Great way to use scraps!!!

Best way to use your scraps up! I love the Dresden!

Great dresdans, and love the colors!

I used them like a lining. I cut them in half lengthwise, sewed them to the front of the fans, then turned the lining to the back and ironed them. Now I don't have to worry about the edges fraying when I attache the plate to a square.

Thanks for the explaination..... I was trying to visulize sewing on to EACH dresden petal.....
This makes so much more sense.

Thanks

What a beautiful way to use up your scraps :D:D:D
