A different Dresden

July 1, 2012

Melissa @ Happy Quilting  made this darling variation of a Dresden plate that she calls Double Dresden Delight. And it is truly a delight...


Here is the beginnings of my version of Melissa's block. 


I don't ever really have a plan when I start these types of projects, just an idea of what fabric I want to use. In this case, the Dresdens are made with Nicey Jane by Heather Bailey.At this point I am in the playing with fabric phase from my stash. An idea is beginning to take shape in my mind. =) 

Have a wonderful Sunday!

    WOW! I love both versions of this - how did you get the Dresden wedges pointy at both ends? I love your choice of fabrics, so colorful. I'll be looking forward to seeing how this develops - have fun!

    That is a lovely quilt. A little more interesting that just straight up Dresden blocks. Also, allows for a large quilt because of large Dresden's. What is your background? I have some Nicey Jane I haven't used yet so if you need some to tide you over, let me know.

    That's a really unique Dresden!!! It took me a minute to catch that the center of the block is just as fun as the outside - I have an idea how it's done, but would love to know if I'm right!
