Scrappy Plate Club

Have you seen the Scrappy Plate Club over at Bunny Hill Designs? I was really excited when I discovered it earlier this week. Lately I've developed a love of dresden plates so step-by-step instructions on how to make my own dresden quilt sounded great to me. I even have a dresden board over on Pinterest if you're interested.

I decided to use pretty florals, spots and checks for my blades.



 
 Fabrics include Sweet Shoppe by Benartex, Flower Sugar by Lecien, Lecien basics and Pam Kitty Morning by Lakehouse Dry Goods.


I used the Easy Dresden Template by Darlene Zimmerman to cut the blades.

  
There are about 30 fabrics in my selection.



 They fit nicely into this container for easy storage.

 And 'ta-da' my first plate ... 11 more to go.


It was fun to learn something new today. Can't wait to piece the next plate.

    Simply gorgous, you have inspired me, I have done my to do list for the year and forgot the dresden plate, despite having the template for ever, thanks!

    Hi Christine -I'm doing this too, but you're ahead of me :) looks like a fun project, and this year I am trying to extend my repertoire. Love your choice of fabrics - I am using Moda Etchings, I've been looking for the right project for this fabric for awhile.

    Hi Christine. I haven't visited your blog for a while and I have missed so much! I love your fabric choices for this project. I was thinking along the same lines for when I one day make of these myself. So pretty!
