How to Piece a Basic Dresden Plate
It’s time to piece our last block for the Machine Quilting Block Party! Today we are going to return to the basics with a Basic Dresden Plate with just eight petals and simple curved edges. Learn how to piece and applique this basic Dresden plate in this new quilting tutorial:
Click Here to find the quilt pattern for Blocks #11 and #12 combined. We released these patterns together so if you play your cards right you’ll be able to finish your Flower Festival quilt before the end of the year!
I’ve saved one of the easiest Dresden Plate blocks for last! The Basic Dresden Plate has only eight petals so it will be very fast to cut the shapes and begin piecing the units together. I used Template #2 from the Dresden Plate Template Set to cut the shapes quickly.
I turned the edge of my curved petals, but remember you can also fuse that edge too. Click Here to learn more ways to create curved edge Dresden Plates!
Let’s go quilt,
