Red! I am really falling for this color! I've also fallen for Dresden Plate blocks!
Earlier this month, I paid for an online Zoom class to make Dresden blocks. Overall, I was fairly unhappy with the class and how it was run. Good thing it included an instruction sheet with template (that had to be revised on the second day), or I may have flipped.
With each new experience, something is learned, right?
Since my scrap bag(s) don't include much red, I chose a charm pack that I've had for ages to make the above small runner. I absolutely got hooked on making these blocks! It felt so good since making a Dresden Plate block has been on my to-do list for ages. They really are much easier to make than I had imagined.
So, I went on to make a few more....
This little lady is truly scrappy with 3 fabrics in each blade. She fits perfectly on an antique pedestal in my family room.
And the final one is just a bit bigger than the previous one. She sits on a small table in our front sitting room.
Here they are next to each other like sisters.
There will definitely be more Dresden blocks in my future!
