Love this tutorial...thanks for such clear pictures and instructions!

I just purchased your Dresden Kaleidoscope book and I'm so anxious to get downstairs to my fabric and my sewing machine. I made my first Dresden Plate block yesterday and I'm hooked on them big time.
Your avatar is absolutely gorgeous. I have just about every one of your books, is the pattern for your avatar in one of them? I could go look, but where's the fun in that. The one on Bostons was my first purchase after I joined the board and I've been hooked ever since. You are an amazing talent and we are so fortunate to have you share your gift with us. |

Thank you everyone! I so enjoy sharing what I have learned. Any talent I have is God given and God inspired. All glory to God. He leads me and I follow.
My avatar is a new venture for me. I am preparing my first pattern for sale. They will be inexpensive at $5 and I have included the quilt block and layout and instructions and tips from me of course. I also have used the quilt block in 4 differant quilts and color arrangements. I hope to have it ready by tomarrow. I just need to figure out the yardage which is not an easy thing for me!! LOL I don't make full size or larger quilts so it isn't anything I have a lot of experience with. But I do recognize I need to include this info. I will be posting it in classifieds when it is ready. |

This makes me feel brave enough to try a block I have shied away from thanks

That is good way to make it. Made one another way one time and had a heck of a time trying to get it to work right.

I thought I had a good system going then I found I forgot to include the centers for the KDs. Then the amts the EQ was giving me was way too much. I figured out it rounds up on their figures. I was taking 1/4th and multiplying for how many quilt blocks because I couldnt' get the amt of blocks needed for the larger quilt sizes. so when I figured out it was rounding up I had to resort back to pen and paper to get a better idea of what it actually takes to do one color in one quilt block. And on and on. I finally found I could kind of use both methods together pen and paper and EQ and finally came up with the right answers. I think I hope!! LOL I had to find how many swatches needed and then put that many squares into the EQ. Make sure I had the right size for that swatch and .... what a trip it was!! LOL LOL It's a good thing I am stubborn and don't give up easily!! |

Well with my Cut Down Method it reduces the pattern to a 9 patch. My method uses 4 Boston Blocks / 4 HSTs cut out my way and the center is a Combo 4 patch cut out my way. I used a 3 1/2" template and the finished size is 9 1/2". If you want to make a 12 1/2" quilt block use a 4 1/2" template. Hope this tutorial helps make this block easier to make. - |
