Confession.. I've never made a dresden plate.. well maybe one.. in my first sampler.. and I think 2014 is my year to make one! So how do you make a Dresden Plate block? There are many versions of the plate and just as many ways to assemble them.
I selectd several Dresden plate tutorials that I really like ..
I like the mulitple sizes here and the layout of the fabrics for the blades. I think the blade color placement makes a huge difference in what the plate looks like

Ann has a whole series of PDFs on how to make a Dresen and I love her technique which is ALL by machine. Scroll down on her page to find them
