    Default Sort-of Dresden plate quarters
    My guild was given a bunch of Dresden quarter blocks that were not the same size, in either blade width or length of blade. I made a template of what would be one quarter of a Dresden plate, trimmed the blocks, and made the tops with blocks from my 3.5" scrappy block box. The bottom one, I filled in with some smaller Dresdens I made to fill the space. Both are about 40" x 55" and are for charity. Thanks for looking.

    Always glad to see what other quilters come up with for scrappy blocks. Both quilts are very pretty but I think I like #1 the best.

    I love to see orphan blocks re-purposed. You made two beautiful quilts out of these.
