I had a great group of quilters at the
"So Easy Dresden" class last weekend. And, let me tell you, these women were nailing that quarter-inch seam! Whoa.

With sixteen 22.5-degree wedges that have to fit together exactly to form a circle, you have to get that 1/4-inch seam allowance pretty much on-the-money or your plate will
not lie flat. They did it… waaaay better than I do when making these blocks.
The class fabric and color combinations were charming, colorful and festive. Students auditioned background and border possibilities. Some of these Dresdens will likely find their way to holiday tables and be used as decorations for the season.

My students made excellent progress on their Dresden plates. We discussed options for hand and machine appliqué and tips for quilting this dimension quilt block. This is a perfect small project for practicing free-motion quilting.
