Bloggers' Quilt Festival

Amy'sCreativeSide

It's my first time linking up to the Bloggers' Quilt Festival. If you haven't visited ~ head on over for a fabulous virtual quilt show!

I didn't have anything new to share, but I thought I'd post again about my favorite quilt this year. It's my Dresden Plate made with primarily Soul Blossoms. Several readers have asked for the setting dimensions and I thought it might be a good time to look those up! You can find the block construction here.

I trimmed my blocks down to 13", so they finish at 12 1/2".
For Cornerstones, you need 20 Nine-Patches, each made from 5 squares of print fabric cut 2" and 4 squares of white cut 2".

You need 31 sashing units, made from 1 print strip and 2 white strips cut 2" x 13".

I also added a white border cut from 2" strips.
I love how this setting really frames the Dresdens nicely. You can see why it's my favorite!

    I'm so glad you showed us your Dresden quilt again. I'm new to the blog and haven't seen this quilt before. I am in the contemplation stage of a Dresden quilt and it is so nice to have a lovely example to ponder as I consider colors, size, setting, etc. Your quilt is beautiful.

    Indeed I see why it is your favorite, I think that the colors are wonderful and the way the Dresdens are framed make it well worth being anyone's favorite.
