    I am new the the forum. I have been looking and reading for a couple of weeks now. I am planning on doing a Dresden Plate quilt. I had seen a tutorial on using different fabrics for the different pieces of the plate. The thing is they did not make it pointed or curved. Like they used the pieces you would use for the pointed spokes, but did not make them pointed. Then they stitched it on the background fabric and then cut out the back of the background fabric and turned it inside out so it would be attached, but not appliqued. I have been looking now for a couple of weeks trying to find it. I don't know if it was here I found the link, or somewhere else. I thought maybe if I asked here someone might know the link I was looking for. Thank you for letting me join your list. I am not near as talented as the pictures I have seen, but do enjoy quilting especially for my family.

    I never did a dresden plate but welcome from NJ. I am not as talented as most on this board either but we are our own worst critics!

    I've done some Dresden Plates, but not the way you are describing. Hard to visualizes what you mean. Hopefully someone on the board will recognize it. I'll sure be watching because it sounds interesting.

    A big welcome from East Texas. I am not even close to being an accomplished quilter but I sure am having a lot of fun trying to learn. I have learned so much from my new family, here on this board and continue to learn something new almost every day. You are going to love it here.

    I know what u are talking about, but haven't seen anything about it...

    I would assume u stitch right sides together
    around other edge of dresden..... then cut the backing ( behind the plates) and turn it like u would a pillowcase.
    Add the center, and u would be basically covering up the hole.?

    I"ll have to research for this link... sure would be easy to get nice turned under appiqued look to it with out the hassles...

    Welcome from MN!

    I'm pretty new to quiting myself but have had a lot of help from here.
    I have just made a dresden plate myself and used a template from a book but looked at several tutes on Youtube. It was pretty easy once I looked at them. Hope you enjoy making it as much as I did.

    Could this be what you are looking for?

    I searched "dresden plate pillowcase method" on this site and it was a few down under dresden plate coasters.
