Make a Flower Block using the Dresden Plate Ruler
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- 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.
I LIKE THE DARK PURPLE CIRCLE
Gotta love a dresden pattern ❤
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.
I do love your’s and Jeanette’s videos - so inspiring and informative. Please keep them coming.
This 😍 love both - dark and light circles
I like the darker⚘️
Hi Katrina!
I love watching your videos!
I think I prefer the dark center. ❤
I like the dark 🌑, but either one looks great. That's a beautiful Dresden. Thanks for the video 😊
I like the darker center. Thanks for sharing
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
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.
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.
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. 👍
I like both. They could be alternated, and it would be lovely.
I have been away so only just now watched the video. I prefer the darker centre. I think it shows the blades off better.
Definitely the dark purple 👍🏻
I prefer the dark. Purple is my favorite color, any shade, but dark the best. Enjoying your videos from NE Tennessee in USA...
Quite stunning! I prefer the dark purple 🟣 center. ❤
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. ❤🙂
Pale colour is good. Love your tutorials xx
Definitely the lilac centre circle. I would use a glue stick to hold the turned over edges down whilst sewing the circle on.
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!
I prefer the dark centre, great tutorial kind regards Chris
I liked the dark center
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
I like Dresdens. I like both centers, my preference is the dark purple.
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. 🪡🧵
I love the pale!
I like the light purple center
A glue stick is great for keeping the seams in place on the central circle.
I like the darker color best although both are pretty
I like the pale color
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!
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!!😄😄😄
❤ I love them both ❤❤❤
I like both
I like the lighter lilac center best.
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.
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!
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.
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 😊❤
That quilt sounds magical!
I prefer the darker centre as I think it 'pops' out better. Hope that makes sense! lol
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.
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 😀❤️

Both
the dark center
I would make half dark half light
The lighter center.
Darker center
I don't bother to turn in the edges of the circle. Just sew it on with a zigzag stitch. I am a stranger to irons.
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.
Hello Kenneth! We are based in Redruth, Cornwall. Most southernly point in the UK. Its a lovely place to visit during the summer, gorgeous beaches.
