after surfing blogs all last week i decided it was time to branch out, try something new! isnt she fabulous??? a dresden plate.....i love this potholder! it took me all weekend....but i did it. i bought the tool on friday, stared at fabrics on saturday (even shuffled them around a little), and sunday dove in head first. it was a really easy block to make. they are piddly....but go together really fast! the bamboo tool is a must!
for the back i just used some fabric to match blocks on the front.

I've never done a Dresden Plate either -yours is lovely and the fabrics are DIVINE!
oooo, are you my potholder pass III partner? Please? It is so beautiful. Did you applique the plate onto the background by machine or hand? Did you sew from middle out, or outside edge in? Inquiring minds NEED to know!
I bought that wedge ruler, too, and have all my fabrics to make a 'modern' dresden plate sampler for our bed...now when to get started?
It turned out very cute! :-)
I love Dresden Plates and this one is super cute well done I bet it's not the last one you make!
Love the fabrics you chose! I really looks great, Bobbi! You've inspired me to try it too!
I doubt I would ever bring myself to use such beautiful things. Love your color choices.
