Using a dresden plate ruler, Katrina shows us how to create a flower design using the Creative Grid ruler. Throughout this tutorial Katrina used a 12.5" square for background fabric and 4" wide strip of fabric (light & dark) - enough to make 20 pieces. She also talks through options for the centre of this block, either cutting a circular piece or creating something more 3D like a suffolk puff.

I think both colored centers look nice and alternating them in a quilt would look lovely.

@Cora-zk4xs 11 месяцев назад

I do love your’s and Jeanette’s videos - so inspiring and informative. Please keep them coming.

Gotta love a dresden pattern ❤

I LIKE THE DARK PURPLE CIRCLE

@mayg.m.3767 11 месяцев назад

I prefer the darker center, but if you’re making a quilt it could be nice to alternate both. Casually I made a pillow last week with a classic basket with a few dresden units as a bouquet of flowers. Thank you for sharing.

@amandastratton8242 11 месяцев назад

I've never made one but will be doing so now. I like the lilac centre but think alternate middles might look good on a quilt. Thanks for the tutorial Katrina

@maddtt1 11 месяцев назад

Hi Katrina! I love watching your videos! I think I prefer the dark center. ❤

@patricevanvleet2281 11 месяцев назад

That’s a tough choice, they are both very nice. I love purple so I would probably go with the dark purple center. Thank you for all your great tutorials . . . really enjoy watching them & have gotten some great tips from them. 👍

@wilycat5290 11 месяцев назад

I like the dark 🌑, but either one looks great. That's a beautiful Dresden. Thanks for the video 😊

@maryspeth3469 2 месяца назад

This 😍 love both - dark and light circles

@ShadowMoonFarms 11 месяцев назад

I like the darker center. Thanks for sharing

@ambermyers4256 11 месяцев назад

This is just beautiful (I'm partial to the darker center, but you can't go wrong with purple anyway 💜 😊). It is wonderful to see you doing the tutorial. While everyone here is great, I am partial to your tutorials. ❤🙂

@gloriabutler1430 11 месяцев назад

I prefer the dark. Purple is my favorite color, any shade, but dark the best. Enjoying your videos from NE Tennessee in USA...

@Cora-zk4xs 11 месяцев назад

I think the pale lilac centre. You could also do a point at the other end of each petal instead of placing disc over the centre - which gives a star effect.

@glynissenter7982 11 месяцев назад

Pale colour is good. Love your tutorials xx

@LindaSunderland-iw5ot 10 месяцев назад

I have been away so only just now watched the video. I prefer the darker centre. I think it shows the blades off better.

@creabea 11 месяцев назад

I like the darker⚘️

@paulinefoy4541 Месяц назад

If you are going to use the Dresden plate block in a quilt I think I would do half in the dark fabric and half in the light and place them alternately in the quilt layout. Otherwise, I think that either coloured circle looks good. Love yours and Janette's tutorials.

@sewforthandsewon 11 месяцев назад

Quite stunning! I prefer the dark purple 🟣 center. ❤

@sarahbattyll1560 10 месяцев назад

Definitely the dark purple 👍🏻

@gailtwyman2103 11 месяцев назад

I love the pale!

@evelynelliott4485 2 месяца назад

I like both. They could be alternated, and it would be lovely.

@franmccarty4098 9 месяцев назад

I liked the dark center

@dawnhammond-kemp3105 11 месяцев назад

Definitely the lilac centre circle. I would use a glue stick to hold the turned over edges down whilst sewing the circle on.

@ChristinaMatthews-tf1cm 6 месяцев назад

I prefer the dark centre, great tutorial kind regards Chris

@sandybruce9092 11 месяцев назад

Beautiful block in my favorite colors! IMO either dark or,light,could be the center circle - as someone suggested, if making a whole quilt/wall hanging, etc. alternate the dark and light centers - would look very nice!

@pamkenniston2128 11 месяцев назад

Definitely darker center - I think it highlights the lighter points. As others have said, though, in a quilt i would do both. Thanks for tutorial - this is something I would like to try. Appreciate your helpful tips - always learn something

@debbiereynolds9276 11 месяцев назад

Always a great tutorial and plan on getting out some light and dark Christmas fabrics and start now. I would really like to see a row finished with the centers alternating light and dark circles. Very pretty block. Thank you for sharing. 🪡🧵

@dw6150 11 месяцев назад

I like the light purple center

@JuanitaHooker-wx9up 10 месяцев назад

I like Dresdens. I like both centers, my preference is the dark purple.

@suekelley1700 11 месяцев назад

I’m a traveling nurse and I take my Juki sewing machine on every trip I love this block started on this block last year will definitely finish it now. You made it look so easy and the block is beautiful you got me inspired!

@carolhiller1112 11 месяцев назад

@veraweeks8534 11 месяцев назад

I like the darker color best although both are pretty

@barbjackowski2776 10 месяцев назад

I like both

@maryannnewsham7714 11 месяцев назад

I like the lighter lilac center best.

@sandybruce9092 11 месяцев назад

Many years ago when learning I wasn’t told to clip that corner at the fold - so I always had trouble when flipping the pointed top! Definitely do trim that corner part off! I haven’t made a Dresden Plate block for a long time so I’m going to get this template set and do it correctly!!😄😄😄

@alexandra-zaza-burns 11 месяцев назад

A glue stick is great for keeping the seams in place on the central circle.

@christinehl4310 11 месяцев назад

Both centers look good. Personally prefer the dark. Center also allows for personalization. Thank you for the tutorial; have the ruler but haven’t used it. You made it look easy.

@rachelburgener819 11 месяцев назад

Katrina- I’ve always loved this pattern, have yet to do one. I love either and think if it were in a large quilt I might alternate! Thank you 😀❤️

@debbienoreski6086 11 месяцев назад

I prefer the pale color. I cut out the Dresden plates using that same ruler using 5” squares. I must not have cut them right because wen I sewed them in quadrants.. it did not make a circle. I thought about adding more Dresden’s but that will make a larger circle that is called for in the pattern. I took all the quadrants apart and will pin them together before I see each one. I am hoping that will work. I cut 220 Dresden’s I hope I don’t have to waste all that fabric!! Your tutorials are the best…you go into great detail and I appreciate that being a self taught quilter.

@sandybruce9092 11 месяцев назад

I noticed that she said to use a scant 1/4” seam - wondering that may be a good idea since there is a little thicker layer at the pointed top!

@christinevandermeulen3088 11 месяцев назад

I have made this before in a u acorns and rainbows for a childrens quilt . I love this design ,I think a alternate colours in the centre is a possibility, but if I had to choose I think I would prefer the lilac 😊❤

@SewingStudio 11 месяцев назад

That quilt sounds magical!

@carolmorgan6388 11 месяцев назад

I prefer the darker centre as I think it 'pops' out better. Hope that makes sense! lol

@lindarhudy1745 6 месяцев назад

I think it would be very pretty to collect fat quarters, and do a few blocks with two each of several colors, and put the blocks together for a quilt.

the dark center

@user-gs9bk8uk4u 10 месяцев назад

I would make half dark half light

@kennethstensrud669 11 месяцев назад

I like both centres, but I would alternate them in my quilt. I used to see together in pairs and then joined them together in fours and so on. Where in the UK are you situated?, just wondering because I would like to visit you, if you're a shop that is, next time I get to Britain. Greetings from Kenneth in Norway.
