Dresden Plate Quilt
Posted: Thu May 26, 2016 3:53 pm
Hi, I have made several quilts (I still consider myself a beginner) but I do not send them out to be finished. I stitch in the ditch or zig zag around my design (usually squares, triangles, etc.) to complete my “sandwich”. I am making a twin size quilt for my granddaughter using the Dresden plate. I am making the 20 blades and sewing them together.
Here are my two questions: What I would like to do is sew by machine the finished blades onto a 14” square, batting and the bottom material (sandwich) all at once (just following the points around and then add the circle) How do I connect the finished squares (4 across and 5 down)? If I sew by machine the finished plate and middle onto a 14” block how do I finish the final quilt? If I stich in a ditch the 14” squares, won’t this be too big (when the batting usually says10” apart)? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
