Instructions

I made my Dresden Plates larger than instructed in the directions for the table runner, so I added an extra hour glass triangle to each strip. I made my blocks for the Dresden plates 13" square only because I made the plates and then went looking for a project to use them in.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Traditional, Casual


Materials

Moda's Miss Jump's Scrapbag Charm Pack (2) Background fabric, batting, and backing. Based on pattern from the Moda Bake Shop,

What was your inspiration?

My teenage son will be traveling to Dresden, Germany this summer. This is a gift for the family he will be staying with.

What are you most proud of?

I'm pretty proud of the whole thing since I've only been quilting for 5 months.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

As a beginner, I wasn't prepared for how difficult the triangles would be, but they came out well and all the work was worth it!
