    How funny. I went through all the photos and "bleeped out" any names and/or addresses that were showing. When I combined and posted the pics, they ended up the size of postage stamps. They're so tiny that the writing couldn't have been read anyway! LOL!

    Ready for the last sets of directions for the Baby Dresden Wall Hanging/Mug Rug?

    Here is another link to the pdf files I've made.

    We started our Candy Dresden Wall Hanging/Mug Rug on posts #971, 972, 974, and 975.

    If you would like the entire document, message me your email and I'll send it to you that way. It's to large to post here on the forum.

    Step 3: Create your center and your leaves.

    Option 1- Using the templet draw circles on 9 of your candies you’ve selected for your Dresden Plate centers. Sew your circle using ¼” seam with the right side down onto a Pellon candy piece. Cut a tiny slit in the pellon and turn your circle right side out. Press into your circle applique piece.

    Option 2- Cut 9 small circles of freezer paper. Press these to your Center circles of candy. Press the seam allowance into the middle, creating your applique piece.

    Option 3- Create a yoyo from your center candy pieces.
    Create your leaves in the same manor if you choose to add leaves.

    Step 4: Place your 9 Dresden plates onto your prepared background piece. (Or mug rug)

    Place the leaves as you desire.

    Applique the plates and leaves down by topstitching or by hand as you desire.

    Step 5: Sandwich your wall hanging or mug rug quilt as desired.

    Add your plate centers, appliquéing by hand or by machine as desired.

    Bind using your favorite method. I'm hoping a few tutorial links I found on quilt binding will post.

    Don't forget to add corner pockets on your wall hanging to make it easier to hang. I cut two 5" squares, fold them in half, press, sew onto your quilt when you sew on the binging. You can see them in the last picture. I insert a ruler into the pockets and set this on my pin or nail for hanging. (I hope that's clear.)
