Dresden Plate 1 Dresden Plate 2

We are continuing with our Craftsy Block of the Month.  This is month 7!  Only a few more and we can assemble our quilt top.  Start thinking about how you want to quilt your quilt!  The Dresden Plate pattern is a classical quilt made from scraps but you can also plan your color scheme.  In this class we will make two different Dresden Plates.  Both techniques are so easy you will want to make a bunch of them.  They would make a stunning quilt all by themselves!
