~~~~~~~~~~
I took a little break and made a dresden plate out of some of the wedges that I cut yesterday. Not sure what I will use for the centers yet.
After that, I went out to the new house and tinkered around out there. So much dust upstairs from the sanding so wasn't any sense in trying to sweep that until he is finished up there. ~~~~~~~~~~
Came back in and put on supper, BBQ ribs, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and cornbread. While I was watching supper I worked on another dresden plate. So far today I have made two of them. I'm not in a rush, I just want to enjoy the process. Most of the blocks will probably look the same because I picked out the fabrics that I wanted to use out of my scrap bin and I cut it up until there wasn't anymore of it. So some fabrics I may have in every block, I just wanted to use up the scraps and be done with them.
Hopefully tomorrow I will have one or two more finished. We will have to wait and see...

I love a scrappy dresden, they can show off so much of what you have worked on over the years. looking good cw
Oh! So beautiful!!! I have one in progress now for almost twenty years!!!!!! the rounded edges, though. All hand cut using a template. You may have just rekindled the spark! Thanks :)
Absolutely beautiful!
Your Dresden plates look great, I did the same thing used a lot of scraps and yep repeated fabrics.
Love the Dresden blocks. Just wondering what size you are cutting with your ruler. I have one and don't want the finished blocks to be too big. If you don't mind sharing what size pieces you are cutting and how big the finished blocks will be.
Thanks

I love them! I want to give them a try. I have the template, and seeing yours' makes me want to go cut some out right now. :) What size are you making?
They look, great and I love how scrappy they look.
What about it if you have the same fabric, I think it is a great idea of using your scraps!
