Dresden bicycle in new AQS magazine
Check out the appliqué bicycle in the new July issue of AQS, page 61. The wheels could easily be changed to a Dresden plate and the flowers would be much simpler to make. P.S. I'm not affiliated with this company in any manner but have ordered from them in the past.

I have the bicycle made with the Dresden plates on my design wall right now. I am working on the flowers in the basket. I hope to start sewing things down tonight. The Dresdens are made already. I take a spinning class at the YMCA. One of the men in the class recently passed away. He did tons for the YMCA, volunteered his time and donations. They are renaming the cycling studio after him. I am going to put a license plate behind the seat with his name on it. I will donate it to the YMCA in his honor.

I saw the new pattern in AQS, and I agree that it's a good starting place. I'm still of a mind, though, that the difficult part of "using the bike pattern as a starting point," what the maker of the original said that she hoped that people would do in lieu of a pattern from her, is the drafting of the Dresden plates, which this new pattern does not feature. Is there a formula for making Dresden Plates, starting from the diameter of the the circle which represents the inner wheel?

Here is my dresden bike so far. My Dresden ruler is 8" and I cut my blades 6". After I sewed the blades together I cut the center out with a larger circle. I needed my bike to fit on the background that I had already pieced in my stash. I had made it for something else and the colors just weren't right. I would love to see the one from the AQS magazine.
