How to make a Dresden Snowflake block!

Jeanette’s got a Christmas in July make for you today!
She’s using the Creative Grids Dresden ruler to make a festive ‘snowflake’ Dresden block!
Jeanette’s snowflake table runner measures 13.5 inches by 42 inches. For her example block here, she’s using a Woodland Winter Charm Pack: www.thesewings...
Creative Grids ruler: www.thesewings...
You'll need:
(1) Charm pack of 5 inch squares
1/2 metre of background fabric
1/2 metre of backing fabric
A piece of wadding measuring approximately 16 x 44 inches
(3) 2 1/2 x width of fabric strips for binding
Other festive charm packs we think would be perfect for this table runner:

Robin Pickin’s Winterly Charm Pack: www.thesewings...

Clever....my thoughts are to use blues, silver to replicate a snowflake and extend the use into January wi ter months. Great inspirational idea..thanks.

[@dianepeterson7606]

I agree.

[@joyfuljan77]

I was just thinking the same thing.

[@saraharrell1768]

Love snowflakes. I was thinking blue background and white snowflakes

[@hoosierpreppingnurse]

I love that idea. A light blue would be pretty or a midnight blue.

[@lyndacottam397]

Wow Jeanette. I really like how you’ve used the different sized dresdens xx

[@kayannahufford340]

Thank you so much. I really love this as a table runner. You are a good teacher.

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Really lovely idea. Thanks for sharing

[@jenihansen7201]

Thank you so much for showing this. I have a ruler but not a dresden ruler, however, I can make the blocks out of my regular triangle ruler. I really appreciate this.

[@suzannakoizumi8605]

How delightful. Thank you. I start my Christmas projects on Saint Olaf Day.

[@amandastratton8242]

Thank you for great tutorial Jeanette x and for sharing with us x

[@ChristineKrannich]

Definitely one I’ll be making! This is so cute!

[@phyllisdippert2216]

I love snowflakes and will be making this. Already have the ruler. Thank you!

[@pampeterson3092]

This “uneven” Dresden is so cute. I love your creativity and enjoy seeing all these little projects you share with us.

[@lindawilson3770]

Love this. To make the cutting go faster I would fold the charm square in half and cut two at a time.

[@wandawalker4191]

That is beautiful!!

[@ellenbarry5612]

Thanks for the demo. Looks like fun to do

[@jenihansen7201]

I went ahead and purchased this ruler. Love this idea. thank you so much, Jeni.

[@antoinettewwinslow4402]

[@debbieparrish4369]

lovely thank you 😊

[@debbiehampton7524]

I bet you like Henry Glass as well.

[@beckyspencer1458]

Watching replay. Thank you for doing this video. These are really cute Dresden snowflakes. Clever idea!

[@annelies2403]

I Like your variations for "Dresden". I LIVE IN DRESDEN😊

[@marlahanks7278]

I love Dresdens anyway & this is a really pretty application!!

[@dollysadlak5242]

Very pretty ❤

[@janetshannon4175]

Beautiful! "SEW" many possibilities.
Definitely going to try this. An excellent tutorial. ❤

[@peggymacmichael9788]

Love it

[@lynettelewis5008]

Excellent tutorial as always, thank you Jeanette! 🏆 I can’t wait to try this! ❤️🌹❤️

[@auntiear126]

Super cute idea.😊

[@maryalicehornsby6636]

Loved watching your Dresden video. How would I make a dresdin plate smaller I wanted to fit on a 10” square

[@angelavorhees5946]

Haven't watched the whole video yet, but I was wondering why you didn't just cut some of individual blades different lengths at the beginning? The dresden ruler i have has all increments up to 10". Seems it could save a bit of extra cutting.

[@colettesorrells9015]

❤❤❤❤

[@juliewoods3650]

Pattern ? I love this

[@mayg.m.3767]

I love snowflakes and this is a great and original idea. May I ask you for the pattern of the quilt you commented in your video of snowflakes made in EPP with hexagons ? I’m really interested in it. Thank you so much.

[@karenwerts2331]

[@brendahamrick9337]

Your ruler is crooked.won’t that make a misfit block?

[@user-je7di8wh3m]

I love your videos, but I have to say that nobody needs an iron. I've made any number of different quilts without ever using an iron. Quilts are meant to use up odd bits of old fabric, not be mathematical puzzles. Throw your iron in the recycling!

[@user-lq4ou9zv9i]

Thanks again, feeling very inspired 🙂 My husband and I were over from New Zealand in June and visited your shop in Redruth. I purchased some Christmas fabric then so it looks as if I'm ready to give it a go. Thanks again Janette.
