There is a quilt here on tab #9. I think it is from the book Quilting for Christmas by Leisure Arts. It is purple with a border made out of Dresden wedges. The border is more interesting to me than the quilt actually but I was wondering if the instructions for this quilt and border are in the book? Or if anyone knows where I can find instructions on the internet on how to construct the border? I have tried to find a site with no luck. It may be a variation of an ice cream cone border, which I have never made but the only one I have seen has rounded ends.

it looks to me like they used the dresden plate template alternating directions

Yes it is in the book. Try a search and took at amazon.co.uk. The book is there and look inside. I will PM you later .

What a striking, unique border. Good luck, it is pretty.

i second this - i've made 2 dresdens and used a special ruler/template.

This is a very interesting border--would love to see how it's done. I can see the dresden plate template in alternating directions, but the white border inside these is very interesting as well. I'm bookmarking for the next time I want to make a "different" border - and by then maybe I'll find out how it's constructed. Thanks for showing this.
